Review: This really is an amazing microphone. I "upgraded" from a Shure Beta 52A - This really is an amazing microphone. I "upgraded" from a Shure Beta 52A, which is probably the most popular higher-end bass drum mic out there. I decided to switch because I kept having trouble with the microphone hitting the hole I cut in my bass drum head. Anyway, the sound quality is one or two steps above even the mighty 52A. I don't know how that's possible. Only downside is slightly higher line noise, maybe because this is a condenser mic, as opposed to a dynamic (as the 52A). Regardless, if you haven't yet bought a decent bass drum mic, I would recommend the extra $50 bucks for this one. If, by chance, you have a 52A, I invite you to try it on your largest floor tom. That's right, the best part about this mic, it turns out, is that it opened up my 52A, which is simply astounding as a floor tom mic (vs. a standard SM57). A few other points. This microphone is incredibly heavy and seems remarkably well made. I'm not a huge fan of the graphics, but you cannot see this mic in the drum, so whatever. The unit is made in Germany and comes with a decent, although not particularly nice, bag for gigging. It also has a 10 year warranty, which is great, particularly for a condenser mic. Finally, I am using this in an 18" Gretsch Brooklyn kick drum. I have no doubt it will sound even better in larger drums. Final verdict: I don't have any idea why it sounds so good, but this is the best kick mic I've ever heard. 10/10. Shure makes a similar unit (Beta 91A) that I have not tried, so I cannot comment on it. I am a huge Shure fan, so I bet it is equally as good. As for why I picked the Sennheiser over the Shure when they were the same price? I just wanted to try a Sennheiser, and the reviews were slightly better on desertcart. Nothing more than that. And I like what I see. A lot.

A lot of folks seem to use boundary mics in conjunction with another mic like a Shure Beta 52, Sennheiser e902 or the Audix D6. I've found that the e901 is perfect by itself. For me, this mic has the perfect balance of lows and highs to give it plenty of bottom and just the right amount of attack to make your kick drum sound great in any venue. In comparison to the previously mentioned dynamic mics, the e901 will definitely offer more attack or "click" sound from your kick if that's what you're wanting. If you're wanting a "boomy" sound from your kick drum, this is NOT the mic you're wanting. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sennheiser e901 Boundary layer Half cardoid Condenser microphone for a kick drum, conference tables, podiums, altars, stages, pianos, and percussion - Shure SM57-LC Cardioid Dynamic Microphone - InnoGear Adjustable Desk Microphone Stand, Weighted Base with Soft Grip Twist Clutch, Boom Arm, 3/8" and 5/8" Threaded Mounts for Kick Drums, Guitar Amps, Blue Yeti and Blue Snowball --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/7060975-e901](https://www.desertcart.is/products/7060975-e901) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
