Beyerdynamic TG D70 Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone Reviews
Purpose-built for capturing the full impact of bass drums and other low-frequency-intensive instruments, the TG D70 Premium Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone features a warm, natural sound with excellent isolation and feedback resistance. To eliminate structure-borne vibration that can cause rumble, the TG D70’s capsule assembly is isolated by an integrated elastic suspension system. The TG D70’s compact dimensions and tight hypercardioid polar pattern make it easy to place to get the sound you want, as it rejects off-axis ambience that can cloud your signal. Its frequency response features a low-frequency proximity effect boost and upper-midrange rise for punchy kick drums and floor toms you won’t have to EQ to sound great. With the Beyerdynamic TG D70, you’re ready to rock — just set your level and hit record.

No EQ needed here!
Been using an MD 421 on my 22' kick just because I own one, and have not seen the need to purchase an independent kick mic. With a gift card burning a hole in my pocket, I blindly purchased the D70 based solely on sale price. I could not be more pleased. my kick is more punchy and really stands out in the mix without EQ and minimal compression. It has also allowed me to replace the SM57 on my floor tom with the 421, which has lifted my kit tone even further. Admittedly, I have not auditioned a ton of mics on kick. Of the half dozen or so that I have tracked (MD 421, NTK, TF M81, R10, WA47jr) this is by far my favorite. If you mic a kit, and are trying to make the most of a handful of quality mics in your home studio, you will not be disappointed with the D20. Shout out to my boy Joe Donner. He's been taking care of me at SW for years now.
Great Kick Mic
This is an incredibly good kick mic. It's the M88 kick sound without the worry of mechanical failure due to pressure fronts inside the drum. The only drawback is that there is no metal insert—so you must be very careful not to cross-thread the mic when attaching it to a stand.
