Built Like a Tank
This is a great kick mic. Because it has 2different outputs for the condenser and dynamic I can mix them separately. I just add more condenser to get a little more "snap" without having to do it with EQ. It has 3 switches on the head for different tonal variations. I like the flat position best for the music I do but I have a friend who does stadium tours with a R&B artist and he uses one of the enhanced frequency ranges. It is the best sounding kick ever. Also, this is important- you need to...

This is the bomb kick drum mic. It's a must have addition to your drum arsenal!
This mic gives you that really deep vibe with the punchy attack as well. It's the best of both worlds when it comes to recording a kick drum. You get the whole image of the kick drum and it's easier to mix. It's the BOMB! Bootsy Baby!!!!!!!!
Thanks to variably controlled dual element technology and fine tuned frequency responses, Lewitt's flagship among drum microphones, the DTP 640 REX, offers unparalleled and powerful sound that will delight professional drummers and sound engineers alike. The DTP 640 REX is equipped with a high quality dynamic element and a condenser element - the dynamic element ensures accurate reproduction of the bass drum kick, while the condenser element optimally captures the rich low frequency sound of the drum's shell. In order to guarantee full control over the two elements, they can be separately mixed on their own channels.
Since 2012, the DTP 640 REX offers two more features. The dynamic element emphasizes frequency ranges relevant for the kick drum in the 'Dynamic Enhanced Frequency Response' setting switchable right on the microphone, while the condenser element captures the sound neutrally. With 'Dual Enhanced Frequency Response', the character of the sound can be shaped even more individually - with this setting, the condenser element focuses on frequencies from 70 to 150Hz and delivers a full body sound. The dynamic element provides the necessary power by focusing on the range between 3 and 5kHz.
