I've recently aproached this problem:
I really like the beefy sound of my maple bassdrum with the batter head loosened and minimum muffling inside the bass drum, what causes miss triggering and double triggering.
Yes I play metal and play fast double bass, but it's not the only music I play and I like the sound of an open bass drum, so I don't wan't to extremely muffle my bass drum and tighten the head for "Trigger only" playing, because it sounds like cardboard.
Is it possible to get the same articulated sound of the bass drum by using several mics without the ultra muffling as if by using trigger+microphone?
For example we put a mic inside the bass drum next to the batter head (just to get the click sound), and another mic in the regular position in the port hole. + add a noise gate/compressor for these mics. Or will there still be too much low frequency noise?
I know axis and ekits could solve the problem, but my feet dislike the direct drive feeling, I'm more in to the hard hitting heavy feeling.
