bass drum question

kinda lame i guess. has anyone heard the new green day album? the drums are amazing on it. anyways, the kick has this nice punch to it. can someone give me some advice on placement of the mic in relation to to the head to get a nice fast powerful sound like that on the new green day CD. and also the difference of taking of the head while recording and or removing the pillow.

amateur seeking professional help

Here's my situation everyone. I am a highschool senior and I have a HUGE interest in going to school for recording arts/sciences. The only issues is... umm getting into a school. My SAT scores are high and I have experience mixing for live shows (yes i even did one show for professionals), but most of the time I mix live audio for performance at church.
