Beyerdynamic - TG D71

>Beyer Dynamic TG D71 boundary mic is my favourite kick mic bar none, and I've rarely heard anyone speak about it. Dude for real, you throw that thing inside a kick that and it sounds like a fucking kick drum! I just got one and it's even better than I thought it would be from the demos I watched. I'm also using a D6 for kick out and have been finding it to be kinda redundant with how good the Beyer is on it's own.

Shure Beta 98AD/C. They sound awesome on toms and percussion, and are super tiny so they can get into tight spots. I also tried them and loved them as room microphones, so I got the clip version (Beta 98H/C) for that and because you can clip them onto bongos and stuff. Not a lot of talk about them online and not a lot of videos on youtube about them, but I am glad I gave them a chance. I second the Beyer Dynamic TG D71, which is phenomenal as a kick mic. I'm sure it would be great for other purposes too. Also just gotta give some love to my TLM102, which sounds good on everything except my raspy voice sometimes. It holds it's own even directly compared to my U87 Ai.

Beyer Dynamic TG D71 boundary mic is my favourite kick mic bar none, and I've rarely heard anyone speak about it. Sontronics Solo is a very good dynamic that's naturally pretty hi-fi sounding due to baked in HF lift. Works great on cabs, vocals, toms and snare. It doesn't need a lot of carving in the mix to sound good.

Definitely! Beyer on it's own is my favourite, and I don't need to EQ it that much either. Especially, for faster paced stuff, the kick out has become pretty obsolete in my tracks. I still use the kick out a bit for slower stuff with more space where I want the kick to breathe a bit, but I can easily get by with the beyer.

I haven't compared to the Shure boundary unfortunately. I did have, and compared it to an Audix D6, EV RE320, AKG D112 and Senn e602 though. I prefer the beyer by some distance. Perhaps it's just the boundary thing I dig.
