BD 300 : You would not think that this is a £35 microhphone

I bought this microphone for studio recording purposes, such as miking my bass drum, or miking a bass amplifier. I used to use at least two microphones on the bass drum (one for sub the other for punch) - now I just use this!

When placed just inside of the port hole of the bass drum, pointed between the beater and the rim of the bass drum, you will get an amazing punchy yet full sound from this microphone.

The microphone itself is solid, I could chuck it down the stairs and it would't do a thing to it! I will say though that I do not like having the XLR cable coming out the back of it as it generally makes the mic more unwieldy to use especially if you want it inside the bass drum.

Overall though, it would be silly to not get one of these if you are looking for a new bass drum microphone.
