Decent kick mic for the money

Solid construction, sounds good for the money but not as good as the mic it imitates, needed a lil more work with the graphic

Very good sounding yet a touch cheap

Sounds great

Really good for kick drums and very very good for bass amps. Only complaint would be the cheaper plastic base that I can’t see lasting for very long but at this price you can’t really complain too much

Good value

Best mic for 50 euro, don't even look further. Good metal casing, heavy enough to stay on a pillow if used inside a drum, strong xlr connection.

Sound may not be to everyone's liking and response is not completely flat, it has a peak around 250Hz which is ok for bass and brass, but has to be attenuated for kick drum. If you want something a little bit better, prepare to pay twice as much.

Great for the price

Impressively good sound of the price. I use it to record prepro for bands or my own band's rehearsals, and it does the job very decently.

Pretty Decent

Bought this mic because of the cheap price (obviously).

Used a a few times and it does what it has to do: Amplify the Kick Drum. It does generate some feedback at higher volumes but I would still recommend this if you're not looking for super quality but something to amplify the kick trough a small PA for a small venue.

Nice kick drum mic

Very nice kick drum mic. It looks nice and captures the sound appropriately, though it might not be able to capture the whole bottom end, for which you might want to use an additional sub-kick. Apart from this, the mic fits easily in a regular hole of the resonant head of the kick drum. The grip swivel doesn't go lose once adjusted properly, but you might need to put some extra effort in this task. All in all, a recommendable mic for the price, with good sound and great looks.

Great economy bass mic

The first thing that struck me about this mic was the weight. It was heavier than I expected for a cheap mic. It feels very solid and sturdy. XLR connector is good and tight, feels as good as any other on a more expensive mic. The only flaw which is small but worth mentioning is that the tightening mechanism for adjusting the angle of direction is where the budget quality comes in. I dont see it lasting long , BUT would be very easy to fix/ replace. Like I said, it is a great mic and for under €50 its amazing.

Good for live

A great budget choice microphone, although you should know your frequencies or have a sound person as this mic tends to have some low end feedback and has quite a 'sub' bass sound as opposed to a 'tight' sound. Ideal for live situations, but not for recording really. Pretty robust though, I have been using it heavily for almost 2 years and it's been reliable. In the future I would look to upgrade to an Audix D6 or similar for a tight per and punchier sound though.

t.bone BD 300

The t.bone BD 300 is a rather affordable dynamic microphone, best suited to micing bass drums, brass or other sound sources equipped with low frequenzies. Other features are frequency range which is 20 - 10.000 Hz, impedance 70 Ohm, polar pattern is supercardioid and maximum sound pressure level 137 dB SPL It comes with integrated stand holder and soft leather carrying bag which protects the mic from dust, scratching etc.

I have used the mic for several years in home studio projects. Must say it doesn't fully compare to the high end 'pro' bass drum mics, but definitely 'a bang for the buck' in my mind. Also I haven't had any problems with it technically, seems to hold it's working condition as a sturdy built dynamic should.

Overall, for a budget and Reduces session can or small room is a good choice, beyond must go upmarket.

t.Bone BD 300

I really like this mic as it really brings out the 'click' in my bass drum. Its low end response is not that good but it is good enough to mold an excellent kick drum tone in production on my DAW. great for its price!

Kick Drum Mic - 300

This is a good micriophone, i wanted a mic to record with the bass amp, and with kick drums, and cajon. This is great for that, has got a great deep low sound. Would reconment to a friend.
