TOP QUALITY-PRICE RATIO AND REALLY PROFESSIONAL !

This mic makes the job, very simply. Much better than some high priced models ( I don't refer to those models not to offend ... )

I had the opportunity to make a "blind test", and believe me, the "pros" who were present there were really astonished.

Well, it looks like a "copy" of a well-known model... The important thing is that it sounds great !!

Its all about thst bass

I use this live for kick drum. The set up is as easy as plugging it in turning up. Sounds like a kick drum mic to me.

Unbeatable at the price

For budget recording and small gigs, this mic is excellent. Great sound, really well built. The only thing that lets it down slightly is the case that comes with it. Very thin and flimsy, so not much protection.

Great

The best quality for that money. Super Mic and low cost.

Really flipping good!

Bought this during lockdown, so now about 2 years old. In my shed its survived 2x cold winters and 2x warmish summers (in England, so you might not agree with the definition of warm and cold :)). Been used live but mostly for recording. I used to use it on a boom stand just inside the bass drum now just sit it on my Evans damping pad. No need for a stand, really.

Another exellent Mic

The T-Bone BD 300 thumps with the best of them! Again do not let the price fool you. Do your research, if you are looking around online at Kick drum Mic comparisons you will often find the BD 300 up against Mics that are three to four times its cost.....What does that tell you? What it tells me is the quality is very, very good.

Amazing

I bought this as a second mic for my bass drum, I put my D112 inside the drum and use this just outside the hole. The two combined sound great. I bought a second one to use at gigs and it's a workhorse. Delighted with it.

Very good

I use it to capture bass sounds from a cajon in church.

I don't have much experience using it to capture cajon sounds, however in the end I managed to capture a very good bass sound.

A very good tool and very cheap.

Great low-end

This kick mic eliminates the need for a subkick speaker. There is tons of 60-100Hz information. Compared this to a beta52a and the beta sounded clearer, but this one had a bigger low end. So it's all a matter of taste. Solid product and unbeatable at this price!

Suprisingly gread

Bought this mic to mic up a bass drum on the cheap without expecting a lot due to the price point. However, after testing it out, the results far exceeded my expectations.

So far I have only tested it as a bass drum mic. I cannot really talk about cons as so far, considering the price point cannot see any but here are the pros:

- Very solidly built: there are no creaks/gaps, the housing feels great.

- Very good sound: gives a lot of low end and fits very well in the mix with minor adjustment

- Comes with a carrying pouch: surprising at this price point.

Overall, loved this product and would highly recommend for anyone who wants to try to record drums on the cheap. Will try more t.bone mics in the future.

Fantastic value, great sound

I love the T Bone mic's . We use them live in our band. I use the BD 300 on the bass drum. It sounds great. The Gain before feedback of all the T Bone mics is great . However, it's hard to get a feel for that before purchase. That is the issue with the sound bites. It doesn't really tell you how the mic will perform live.

Can't beat the price

We have previously used this mike even for gigs and it works amazing. Now we are just using it in rehearsals. You cannot beat the pricepoint comparing to quality on this. Very much recommended for light home/rehearsal use. If you need to go professional, then you need to spend 5 times more. But if not, this definitely does the trick.

Have tested this mic using Audiomatica Clio and it is virtually the same as a beta 52!

FIRST BASS DRUM MIC

My first bass drum mic, it looks good, but doesn't sound that good when i increase the gain over 12o'clock, A part from everything is $$$ positive about this mic....

Superb mic....

Got to admit, I was a little dubious about this mic, how good could it possibly be for £35? But for a gigging drummer on a budget I figured it was worth a try.

First thing that took me by surprise was the weight of this thing. You need a sturdy stand! I like my mic stand off to the side of the kick drum, I want people to see as much of the custom painted head as possible. I bought a stand with a weighted base, rather than legs, (don't won't the guys out front kicking my mic out of the way lol) and I've had to add a little weight to keep it stable. It also feels very solid, like you could drop it and do more damage to the floor than to the mic itself.

Now to the important bit, how does it sound? The simple answer is, great! It picks up plenty of low end, there is a real thud to the sound. A little EQ and it also gives plenty of beater attack, which I need to cut through our bass players sound! I will say, you do have to watch the gain, a touch too far and you will get feedback. Speaker placement is paramount. I also found that tuning in a tighter sound with less boom on my kick helped a lot, it's definitely the resonant frequencies that are causing the feedback. A gate here would work wonders!

All in all, a fantastic mic at an unbeatable price. There could a lot more tBones in my kit bag if they all turn out this good.
