Get the most amazing kick drum sound you've ever had!

It's not a mic or a drum - it's both! The Subkick pushes the envelope in acoustic drum design, while solving the dilemma of obtaining good live and recorded kick drum sounds with the introduction of the Subkick, a sub-frequency (below 100Hz) capture device designed for use with kick drums and floor toms as an alternative or supplement to a traditional microphone.

In combination with the resonance of the drum shell, the speaker produces an incredible sub-frequency sound, with plenty of punch and controlled thickness, and without the phasing problems often associated with low end reproduction.

When used alone or in combination with a standard kick drum microphone, the Subkick will capture the full range of frequencies coming from the drum without EQ, compression, or any other signal processing. The Subkick also includes a standard XLR for easy connection, and does not require +48V Phantom power to operate.

Yamaha SKRM100 SUBKICK Low Frequency Capture Microphone Reviews

13 People rated this product :
           10 out of 10
           9 out of 10
"Get it!"
Feature:
Don't need any features on this, so therefore it gets a 9. A 10db pad could have been included, but if your preamp or desk doesn't have one you should still be able to manage

Quality:
Built like a top of the line Yamaha drum...still, don't be rough with it because it's GEAR; the reason we all exist...however, it's good enough for the road, but I would use a D6 on the road to keep it simple

Value:
Don't waste money on other kick drum "solutions" (except a D6)...this is THE ONE

Desirability:
YUM

Sound:
Used in conjunction with a mic on the beater and GOOD LORD your kick sounds thunderous...must be heard to be appreciated...you'll never track drums again without it
