Does anybody out there have any advice on the Yamaha BD Sub-Woofer? I play hip hop and I'm curious if anybody has any advice or experience with this thing? Any suggestions or advice would help! Thanks...Mike
All I know about it is that Teddy Campbell uses one, and the idea is that it supposed to make micing your bass drum a whole lot easier.
So it wouldn't add any boom to the mic?
It acts as a second mic...albeit a much lower freq. one to pick up very low freq. sounds and fill out and give a much fuller (i.e., bigger) bass drum sound. You would still use your reg. kick mic and also this one (i.e., it's not designed to be used as your only kick mic)....and yes it does work quite well!
Oh yeah and I've seen ?uestlove from The Roots using one as well. Not saying that's why you should or shouldn't get, but Campbell and ?uestlove both have great tone coming from their kits.
