Would an SM-58 do a decent job recording the kick drum....or would that be a bad idea in terms of quality?

i don't know about that... when i put a 58 inside my kick drum, it's the best sound i've ever gotten out of it. it sounds perfect no matter how i place it inside the drum, with no eq. that's way more than i can say about my experiences with a D112 - spent the whole day fiddling with placement and ended up with a sound nowhere near as nice as a 58.

i'm just saying it worked for me, and it happened to work even better than a D112 on my kick drum.
if it doesn't work for you, that's not my problem. i can easily believe that my case is an isolated incident.
