The Sennheiser e901 Boundary Microphone is a professional quality boundary layer condenser microphone which, unlike most other PZMs has been optimized for bass drum, the lower drum of a Leslie speaker, and other low frequency instrument applications.

The boundary style microphone has been a trick of many a professional recording engineer over the years to help really capture the "slap" of the beater on the kick drum. However, the e901 can be quite good at capturing the whole picture of the kick drum from within. So, use it by itself or in conjunction with a more traditional kick drum mic. No stand is needed since the e901 can simply sit on top of a folded towel, pillow or whatever your regular padding is inside the drum.

What We Think

avatar

The Sennheiser e901 is a fantastic tool for the recording engineer who likes options and who loves to experiment with new and interesting sounds. Though I have used it in live situations before (where it excelled), I did find it to be more suited for the recording studio where the front head of the kick might be removed or have a larger hole cut into the head - It's just a little bit too big (as are most PZM style mics) to fit through the regular "coffee can" sized hole in the kick head. So, don't say I didn't warn you that you'll need to be ready to futz with the front head of your kick when you order one! However, it is certainly well worth the trouble. Placing this heavy little sucker (built well enough to survive a nuclear strike) inside the drum on either a pillow, towel, or other padding, you'll suddenly have more options by which to tailor your kick drum sound. The fact that it is a condenser mic is proven by the added open top end. It's perfect for capturing the beater whacking the head while also getting the ooomph of the drum. Give it a try. It's a far more exciting new tool in your kit than 'another screwdriver'.
