1. get a acqurian super kick 1 bass drum head and put it on the back of your kick drum.
2.get a plan remo kick drum head and put a remo muffling ring on it and put it on the front of you kick drum.
3.do not put any pillows or junk in your kick!!!!!
4.cut a 5-7" hole on the front kick drum head down to the right at about 4-5:00.
5.take a sheet of foam about 3 by 2 feet long and roll it up into
a tunnel.
6. take a shure beta 52 mic or your kick drum mic and put it in the
middle of the tunnel. no stands needed!!!!!
7.place the tunnel along with the mic that is now on the inside and place it right in the center of the kick drum at about 5-7" away from the back head.
8. tune both heads down to where thay just almost wrickle.
9. back at the mixing board, cut all the low's on the kick drum
channel only.
10. turn the gain up on the kick drum channel just to where it does not distort.(cuting the low end like i said to do will let you get the gain up higher without distortion.
11. record.
12. when done recording go to the kick drum track and cut 2-8
in the low's.
13. add a nice room revurb to add color to your sound.
14. enjoy!

a remo kick drum muffling ring, shure beta 52 mic,a fostex vf-16
