Recording the Kick Drum

Sticker's Modern Rock Kick Drum Tips

1. I prefer a front head but with a decent size whole. I think the best place for the whole slightly of center horizontally but centered vertically.

2. Place Mic 3-5 inches away from inside head. I usually end up pointing the mic half way between the beater and rim, centered horizontally.

3. Use a pillow for dampening.
