From Our Research Team:Get the Low-Down Lows from Your Kick Drum!The Yamaha SKRM-100 SubKick will transform the sound of your kick drums! This unique sub-bass transducer also works with other bass instruments.Yamaha SKRM-100 SubKick at a Glance:
Picks up low end that normal mics can't The idea behind the SubKick is ingeniously simple. Yamaha took a 6.5" speaker, mounted it in a 10" drum shell and reverse-wired it to an XLR jack to convert the speaker diaphragm into a microphone diaphragm. This huge diaphragm allows the SubKick to pick up the low end that a normal microphone can't. And as a dynamic microphone it can handle extremely high SPLs. Shock mounted in birch/mahogany shell with specially designed stand Mounting the SubKick speaker into a drum shell focuses the sound to direct the signal into the diaphragm. It also protects the SubKick transducer from mechanical noise and damage. Plus, using a drum shell makes the SubKick easy to set up on the road or in the studio, and it looks great with any drum kit. The SubKick includes a tom mounting bracket attached directly to the shell. This mounts to a CL-940 ball clamp that slides into the base of a double braced Yamaha 800 series snare stand. Offers many tonal options for kick drum miking Placement and proximity have an effect on the sound captured by the SubKick system, so experiment with these variables to create a variety of tonal possibilities. Place the SubKick in front of the head hole or at varying distances from the head itself to produce variations in sound quality, volume and timbre. The SubKick offers great potential in both live performance and recording. Effective in a variety of low-frequency miking situations The design of the SubKick and the flexibility of the stand allows you to use it for a variety of applications in live or studio situations. Try the SubKick in conjunction with an internal microphone on bass drums and floor toms, djembe, bass guitar cabinets, pianos and more - your imagination is the only limitation!

This is apart of my go to miking set-up now. I use it on just about everything. I put this on the out side a RE20 45 degree angle outside the hole and a beta 91 inside about 6" from the batter head. T... read more [+]his setup works on everything from jazz to metal because I have my lows from the subkick, nice creamy mids from the RE20 and the attack from the beta. It is just beautiful thing. close [-]
August 12, 2009 Music Background: Recording Engineer Awesome
by Nate from Seattle,WA
I agree with what Sean wrote below. I have the same mic setup for kick drum. D6 on the inside and Subkick on the outside. Any sound is atainable. Not much positioning needed, automatic sweet spot. It'... read more [+]s great not not have to use much compression or extreme equalization to get the low frequency punch that can at times seem so elusive. Alot of people say buying on of these is a waste of money and that you can build one of these yourself fairly easily. That has some truth, but this gives you a great mounting system as well instead of screws into two vertical brackets to position the speaker height. Aesthetically its much more pleasing as well, really makes the homemade ones look makeshift, sometimes people care about how things look so it's a nice side perk as well. close [-]

by Sean Edwards from Mesa, Az USA
This in combonation with a Audix D-6 is possibly the most versatile kick sound an engineer could possibly have. An amaizing peice of equipment.
June 29, 2007 Music Background: Student/Recording Engineer A great augmentation for kick drum mic'ing
by Ron Perron from Denver, CO
We used the SKRM-100 in addition to good mics and great preamps on our latest 11 song recording session. Our favorite combination was the SubKick and an Audix D-6. We also tried it with a Neumann U... read more [+]-87, an AKG D-112 and one or 2 other mic's. The D-6 was the best combination we found for kick. It really enhanced the big woof on the bottom. close [-]

Scott BarefieldThis is an old "trick of the trade" now marketed to the masses. Essentially a speaker with a sub-transducer with its polarity inverted to function as a microphone, the Yamaha SubKick will give you the thunderous punch in the chest you have been wanting to get out of your kick drum during tracking sessions. It can also be a great blending tool when combined with other kick mics. Do yourself a favor and get a product that every modern recording studio already has. Also popular
