Extremely impressive mic
I must say this is an awesome bass drum microphone. It is of very good quality and is very robust.
The hypercardioid polar pickup pattern of this mic is a great plus for reducing feedback and bleed from other sources in the studio and on stage.
I have also used this mic for recording a bass cab to try and capture the the low end features and it sounds great.
Pros:
1) Quite sturdy and will take some beating.
2) The hypercardioid polar pattern is a great feature.
3) Comes with mic clip, velcro cable tie and bag for mic.
4) Frequency response(20 - 10,000 Hz) ensures that you can capture lots of low end from the likes of a bass drum, floor tom or bass cab.
Cons:
1) It doesn't produce the same natural attack compared to the likes of some more expensive mics but that's nothing a bit of compression and EQ won't fix.
-----------------------
Summary:
I would definitely vouch for this mic as it is an extremely solid, decent microphone for a very affordable price that has plenty of great features.

The best for this price
I took it for my rehearsal space - it's quite big space, so I needed the mic for bass drum. And for this price it's the best mic. I have received what I was looking for, nice sound of the bass drum, but it depends on PA system as well.

DEAL
Have used this for demos and writing purposes in our studio.
It's built with kick drums in mind. Take the reso head of the drum and sit it just inside, half way high and have a nicely tuned head with a bit of dampening and you're done. Seriously thumping kick, match it up with a LD condenser for the attack if you want to get serious. But for the price its seriously faultless, I prefer this over the D112 that my friend has.
I used it on a bass cab and blended it with the Sans Amp direct out for some extra low end and it did the job perfectly.
Pros; Price, build quality, sound
Cons; One trick pony

NIce!
First of all - it's built like a tank.
Second - sound is very good, tight and punchy, but if you want can be more airy - depends of your settings.
You can have hard rock bass drum sound or oldschool boomy fill.
Great.

EV always trusted
This is a great Bass Drum mic. I am using it outside the bass drum and it gives me the exact right tone and balance I am looking for.
I am using via a Warm Audio Tone Beast, so I can drive things gently if I need to, but the mic itself is another piece of quality from EV.
The RE20 being one of my favourites, I think I may have another beauty in my collection with this one :-)

Good quality microphone
I really like this microphone. It's not expensive, but it delivers good sound and is built solidly. It also comes with a nice pouch and handy microphone holder. Good deal. Recommended :)

best bass drum mic on the market for the cost
the entire Pl range is fantastic, you can't get better for the cost, I have several sets, they are built like tanks & can take some hammer, but they sound & work great.... way better than most mics at double their cost. great for venues, bands & studios who need something rugged.

decent kick/ bass mic
I mostly recorded bass drums with it... Very versatile and kinda boomy, but important thing is it catches the attack and low end so perfect so the kick drum fits the mix so good. Also recorded some bass guitars with it, totally worth it. I love Electro Voice mics!

I needed a cost-effective mike for kick drum...
I work in a small club, and sometimes with 2 band.
In the club is only few cheap microphone, with cheap voice, so i have to buy a kick mic for myself.
My pocket is not full with money for this, so i looking for cost-effective mic, thats why i bought this mic.
First time, when i use it, i didn't belive my ears. First i flatten the channel EQ, switch on the channel, and that was all my job with this mic.
Clear, nice, "fat" low-end, and enough punch for most of the rock bands. I would like to try it on bass amp too.
Pros:
- Clear, dynamic punch, and clear low-end.
- The price
Cons:
- None yet.

My preferred Kick drum mic
I'd choose this mic over some of the more industry-standard bass mics. It has a nice clear but fat sound. Very versatile. No Cons
