Live Sound International’s Dennie Miller tested the DPA 4055 Kick Drum mic on various drums, drummers and musical genres.
“I think it’s fair to say that anyone would be hard pressed to find a sound engineer worth their salt that doesn’t choose their kick drum microphone based upon the genre and musical content du jour. So, what gives? One of the most reputable mic manufacturers on earth has created a product that flies directly in the face of such a standard practice? They’ve absolutely fallen off their chair, right?
My friends at the company were kind enough to send me a pair to try. Now that several weeks and performances spanning multiple styles of music have gone by, my scepticism has proven unwarranted, and I think DPA has absolutely knocked this one out of the park.“
