Is there a minimum SPL handling a mic should have before close Micing a kick drum? If so what is it?

I have a friend who own the 7 piece mic kit.
He's not any other drummer, he took part at the Montreal DrumFest 2004
He said he likes the Shures or AKG but CAD are good ones 2.

did you ever tried one?

the price range vs quality seems good to me 45$ not 199.99$ as Shure or AKG.

I own a 421 i just love it.
what you think about all this?

I am looking for suggestions for a versatile kick drum mic. Something that can get a tight rock/funk sound on a 22", and get an open jazz sound on an 18". Any recommendations? Considering Audix D6, AKG D112, Shure Beta 52.

Any comments on these, or other mic.s would be appreciated.

Hey guys, I'm about to enter the studio to record drums for my record. The thing is that the studio doesn't have the kickdrum mics that I'm looking for, and I couldn't find anyone to rent me a Shure Beta52. But some guy offered me a mic of the brand I guess it's K&K. the model is B07. .is it a good option?.

Thanks in advance :D

Hey guys, a question for you, when i mic up our drummers kick drum we want it to sound more of a click/thud/punch sound instead of a thump sound or a beat sound, for example The Ataris have it in there songs, could any of you lot give me a clue on how to do this.

...besides an AKG D112, Shure 52, Audix D6 or a Sennheiser MD421. :)

I realize this is an industry standard, but this has to be genre specific, right? I am not experienced with recording by any means, but the thought of using an md421 for metalcore double bass craziness drives me bonkers... am I just plain way off or what?

I'm selling my Shure PG mic kit on ebay for 220 and I'm looking for an upgrade. I've bought two SM-57s previously and all i need are good overheads and a quality kick drum mic. Any suggestions? I know this is such a common post to ask for recommendations for mics but I figure you guys have definite favorites.

Hello,

A bit of a last-minute question: we'll be recording the day after tomorrow and we were wondering about max kickdrum SPL-levels.

In other words, can a condenser mic specified at 142dB SPL max
(0.5% THD, 1kHz, 10dB pad engaged) be safely used in, or in front of a kick ?

Either the D112 or the Shure Beta 59? Or is it the 56? Opinions on this one?
