Yep I have a similar problem. Been recording with my Rode K2 and it picks up everything. I have wooden floor boards so even a soft tap on carpet with your foot to keep time transfers onto the recording as deep rumble. Not sure how to fix this - put mic on desk rather than on floor with mic stand? However the recordings arn't a million miles from my dynamic mic, just smoother to my ears. Not a massive improvement BUT the improvement has made me sound better.

Here's a song I did with my children, they are singing into my dynamic mic and I'm on the Rode K2.
