The Importance of a Present Low End

No matter what genre of music you're into, when it comes to performing or recording, no one can deny the essential nature of staying in the pocket. This role is usually handled by the drummer or the bass player. Having a powerful presence of bass and kick cutting through the mix means that not only will the other performers on stage lock in tightly, but the audience with be there with the group every beat of the song. If you're recording, then the Sennheiser e902 will do your kick or bass justice by keeping the low end consistently sounding big and full of body -- without too much poofiness.

Great for Kick Drum and Bass -- And Easy to Place

Your Sennheiser e902 works well for a decent collection of low-end instruments, including kick drum, bass guitar, tuba, and other instruments as well. A wide frequency response of 20 Hz read more to 18 kHz means that you'll never miss anything necessary to get a powerful and well-articulated capture. For bass, simply set your e902 in the sweet spot of your amp's speaker, about a thumb's distance away from the amp's grill. For kick, stick it right in the center of the hole. You can adjust how far to place this baby inside the kick drum based on how it sounds in the mix.

"very accurate reproduction of drum tone"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I plan on picking one up whenever I can afford it... I would love to hear this thing live oh how sweet I can only think it could be
Sound
a quick disclaimer to everyone who wants the "click" sound out of the kick drum: this mic doesn't click. for those looking for a true reproduction of how your drum naturally sounds, this is a great mic. I use a rather deep and tall kick. 28 diameter, 24 length, it provides an accurate reproduction of my kick, nice and fat, a punchy thud. We hooked this thing up in the studio after the beta 52 wasn't providing the sounds we wanted, or the akg d112, this provided the best low end tone out of all the mics yet also provided quite a punch. I play Indie rock as well, not sure if that helps anyone out at all... I don't play metal drums, but I can say it wouldn't be all that great for metal, or grindcore, or anything of that nature
Features
I don't know what features you were looking for, it's a plug in and record or play type of thing
Ease of Use
it needs just a touch of compression and EQ to tweak it to your favored settings, but man, it's pretty dead on just hooking it up.
Quality
from what i can tell it's a nice rugged construction. Doesn't look like a cheap mic.
Value
it's a pretty penny but worth it
Manufacturer Support
we just recorded with it, no problems = no need for support
The Wow Factor
it's a mic, they don't turn me on but hey, it looks better than the d112 easter egg
