You are probably talking about a type of microphone used to pick up those large bass frequencies coming from the bass drum.
Microphones and speakers work in a very similar way, they operate by using an electric signal to transmit/receive audio messages. In fact, you can rewire a speaker to work as a microphone! Typically, the larger the speaker, the lower the frequencies that it can pick up. Since a 10-12" speaker is a very large diaphragm, it will respond very well to frequencies well below 250 Hz
These speakers used as microphones are placed inside a resonator drum placed in front of the port hole of the kick drum. The resonator drum enhances the presence of the low end frequencies and as a result, you have a very punchy, powerful, and deep kick drum sound with a lot of presence.
