Not really a Kickin kick

[rdfuze]

Any tips.
on recording kick drum. Using a d110 mic. And im not getting a lot of body sound from the kick. Its a 22" with both heads on it and a hole cut out. the set is in a rather small bedroom size space. The sound im getting has a lot of knock to it but no meat around it

run it through a limiter after you cut 400hz.

There is a pillow or some form of dampening inside the kick, right? Without dampening, all you'll get is a bunch of wham-wham, no thud. Check the tuning of the beater head as well, the tighter it is, the higher the pitch.

Use a Sample....Alot of recordings do it now a day.

how far away is the mic? if up close, try moving it around till it sounds better. if not back it up a foot or more
