What does a whole in a bass drum cover do?

I am not quite sure what you mean by "Bass drum cover"But I have a feeling you mean the front head called the Resonant Head of the bass drum.A hole allows for a mic to be placed somewhat inside the drum to capture the whole sound of the drum.

How do you Mic a bass drum for live sound?

First off, you need a hole in the bass drum head. Some performing drummers neglect to do this and they get a thin sound that lacks attack.Secondly, invest in a quality kick drum mic. I prefer an AKG D112, but some guys like the Shure Beta 52. Stay away from the Audix D6. I love Audix for toms, but they can't build a decent kick mic.Lastly, just stick it in the hole. Some guys put it just inside, other move it closer to the beater for more attack. Just experiment.IMPORTANT!!! I guess I should have mentioned this first. A great miced drum sound starts with a properly tuned drum. Deaden it up, get the ring out of it. The resonate head should be justtight enough to get the wrinkles out.Good luck.

What is a Wood cajon drum?

It is a wood drum in the shape of a box. You sit on it to play it and the playing surface is between you shins. The lower to center part of the drum creates a bass sound and the upper end has a higher pitch. Some cajons have a snare on the inside of the upper playing surface and gives a somewhat sound close to snare drum. In the back of a cajon is a hole from where the sound eminates and where a mic could be placed. Some bands use a cajon in unplugged sets.


What do you need to mic your drum set?

It depends on where you are, and what size building you are playing in. if you are in a small-medium hall, then most kits will be able to carry their sound over the rest of the music without needing amplifications at all, apart from maybe a mic underneath the hi-hat to pick up them and the snare. For large gigs, stadiums and the such, or recording, most people use: 1 capacitor mic above the ride 1 capacitor above the crash 1 capacitor above by the high hats 1 unidirectional mic by the snare, 1 by high tom, 1 by low tom, 1 by floor tom, and 1 by bass drum. This covers 8 tracks right there - and normally in recording practices you actually use 2 tracks per instrument, say track 1 cranked over to full left channel and track 2 cranked over to full right channel. This is what produces the true stereo effect.
