Nice Mic with 4 EQ setting options. Works very well in my 22x18 maple shell. This mic is very robust and heavy. It is MUCH heavier in weight compared the AKG D112, and the Audix D6 so beware of that. I bought a On stage quick change mic adapter so I would not have to screw this mic on and off the stand every time I use it. It just clicks on the kick drum mic stand now when I play live shows.

I purchased this mic at my sales engineer's recommendation. It has great sound and options with a classic/modern voicing switch.

This mic is perfect for working with a wide range of kits and styles. The "classic" and "modern" tuning switches have a significant impact on the overall sound, allowing for quick experimentation without having to switch out mics.

Build quality is really solid. Not quite as heavy as a D6, but definitely road worthy.

I have been using an Audix kick mic for years. I ordered a new kick drum and decided to go with the Kelly shu and a new designated mic (SE V KICK) for the drum. Evens Emad heads on a DW kick, both switches set to modern and this drum sounds AMAZING! Easiest kick I have ever dial in (it sounds great without trying). Exactly the sound I was after! I would have gone with a more traditional mic (Audix or Shure) but took the recommendation from Mac at Sweetwater and after hearing and playing through it I am ver impressed! Thank you Sweetwater!!!

The setup is with a Yamaha Stage Custom 20 inch kick, Kelly Shu, and sE V Kick, Evan's EMAD Batter and Resonator heads.
I gave the sE V Kick 5 stars because of the thought put into the design of this mic. The switched DO make a difference and my sound tech was excited at how well they worked. We went with "modern" setting.
The mic, in my opinion and experience using various manufactures like Sure Beta 52 a, D112, and other, this one beat them all. Nice lows and highs accented the beater with a nice click. Sound tech said it was the easiest mic he had ever mixed with in quite some time.
Without going any further, I'm thinking on purchasing the tom mics by sE as well.
My compliments to Frank Gerts for suggesting the sE V Kick and getting it to me in plenty of time for my next show.

I have tried a whole mess of microphones as my kick inside mic and this has now become my all time favorite. My second favorite is the new ev nd68. I like a good classic inside microphone sound with nice attack and natural low end. Im not a fan of the overly clicky, pre eq'd microphones like the d6. This has the absolute most perfect inside tone I have heard yet and I have tried at least 20 different inside microphones over the years. This microphone with the warm audio fet47 jr on the outside is absolute studio gold! I tried the different switch combinations on this v kick microphone and although they are useful, the classic/classic setting was absolutely perfect. I really think this was my last microphone purchase for that kick inside mic. This along with the ev nd68, which is also beautiful sounding and a touch more bassy, has me covered in the studio. Definitely give this one a try if you are looking for a beautifully built, stellar sounding kick drum microphone.

Purchased for two reasons. I've been working with a drummer that has large deep floor toms and sets his cymbals extremely low in relation to the drum heads. This has made the issues of mic placement and bleed a real challenge. The low profile and down facing base and cable connector on the V-Kick solved the placement issue immediately. This along with the super cardioid pattern all but eliminated excessive bleed from the other elements of the kit. By setting both of the filter pins to modern, it produces a nice balance between a strong low end and good snappy transient of the sticks. Very pleasing results.

Very sweet, play a brand of originals of metal heavy blues. And this mic is amazing. I drop the adjustments both down to modern settings and sounded awesome through the house/mixer PA system. Then I have a personal drum module and Yamaha mixer. The kit is fully triggered (Roland rt30's) and completely mic'd. Run sends in stereo from my mixer out to pair of Alesis 12" drum amps.

Thank you Jeff Allen for recommending this mic, it is like having 4 mics in 1. It sounds great!

If the V-Kick only had one voicing (like most other kick drum mics in this price range) I'd still be super impressed by its warmth and punch. But, this mic has four different voicings! Each one offers its own unique, style-specific sound and gives you the ability to sculpt your kick drum sound with the flick of a switch. The V-Kick is the Pearl Eliminator of kick drum mics. Get one.

I'm blown away by these versatile, powerful microphones! I have two mics and I'm loving the L-Classic / R-Modern setting for two bass drums. Very full, round sound with enhanced brighter attack, These mics aren't some one-trick-pony or a re-hash of some previous product. You really need to experiment with the different settings. The frequency response span is quite impressive! I'm using them in my no-budget home studio.

My bass drums are 18x22 Ludwig Classic Maples with Evans Hydraulic batters and Aquarian Resonators on the front. Tune Bot settings are G (98.0 hz) for my main bass and Ab (103.8 hz) for the left. No loose, flappy heads here! One pillow in each drum. The punch I'm getting sends my cat Snoofus out of the cellar and running for cover every time.

Thank you, Mr. Leonard, for recommending these!
