looks good !
Except you need to replace your Kick drumhead and get yourself a Kick Pad.
One thing though, I see you've got lots of nuts & bolts, make sure its all got Loc-Tite on it, so you can be sure it won't ever come apart. We all know how nuts & bolts do in high vibration environments.
One thing I don't like about any internal mic mounting system is that it limits the ability to position the microphone exactly where I want it.
Very creative.One thing I don't like about any internal mic mounting system is that it limits the ability to position the microphone exactly where I want it.My suggestion ... when positioning your Kick drum mic, don't point the diaphragm of the mic directly at the drumhead. You typically never want to point the Kick mic so that it's perpendicular to the Kick drum batter head. You want to place the mic slightly "off axis". By this I mean that the mic should not be pointed directly at the beater and should be tilted to the side (as much as 45 degrees). This will eliminate potential air popping from the wind rush past the diaphragm of the mic, keep you from overdriving the diaphragm, plus put you right in the meat & potatoes of the cardiod pattern on the D112.For more "click" and "punch" in your sound, put the mic several inches from the batter head. To catch more of the "body" of the drum, pull the mic back so that it is (at least) in the middle of the drum shell or further.
Just wondering about the motivation to do this. Do you guys feel that mounting the mic inside and that close to the batter head is a big improvement over setting on a mic inside a reso side port (maybe you don't port). Are you trying to pick up more smack/attack from the strike? Don't you loose some of the fullness from the shell?
Unfortunately the pics on this post are gone so I cant really see what he built. I too mount my D112E on the inside of the bass drum.
