Can you mic a resonant bass drum head without a hole in it? I'm thinking that I could just put a mic on the outside of the bass drum and it'd be fine, but my buddy is arguing that I should just cut a hole in my resonant head and put the mic in there. I'm not really too pumped about taking a knife to my bass drum and I like the rebound I'm getting on my pedal so I'd like to avoid that (and I don't want to buy a new resonant head). So what do you suggest? Do you think it would work if I put it on the outside? If not, what are some tips for cutting a hole in your resonant head.
Thanks!
Thanks!
