Re: Senheiser MD 421 or Shure Beta 52 for kick drum?r kick drum mic?
Imp check your frequency response charts. The B-52 is anything but flat, having eq tailoed specificially for kick drum, it has much more low end boost than the D112, and a low mid cut consistant with most kick drum eq's. Also, being that it is hypercardiod, with a nice extended high end response. Place it properly, and you will have more than enough high end as well. I have found the B-52 to be the one kick drum mic that never needs eq, because of it's specific eq tailoring for bass drum. Not trying to bash you sir, just want to get the facts straight.
