Show 89 – Nothing But Kick Drum Mics

This week Ryan is joined by Randy Coppinger to determine which of the most commonly used microphones would give us a great kick drum sound.  This is a big segment.  This show is almost double the time of our regular show and only one segment.  If you ever wanted to know what is the best way to get your kick sound, this show just may give you that answer.
