Nady DM-90 Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A specialized mic, for sure.
I give it 4 stars for the value.

Sure, you can do at least somewhat better if you
move up to the $175+ level, or higher.

But short of that, placed & leveled properly, this baby will more than hold its own.

I'm using the old early-1970s-pattern 4-drum micing right now, and it sounds great:
SM57 on snare;Nady DM-90 inside kick; 2 AKG C1000Bs for overheads (both thru preamps).

We live in an era where engineers have been known to put 3 mics on a snare drum.

Sure, You can keep adding mics to a setup, but it's surprising how good and crisp
and vivid (with good stereo imaging) this 4-drum configuration sounds & records, just as is.

Add a touch of stereo "close-up"/small room reverb
on the overheads, and a bigger, more "majestic" reverb on the snare, and I'm off and running
for classic rock, fusion, power-pop, etc.

And this specialist mic always works well and "gets the job done"
as part of my microphone "team".
