Bob, Do you have the bass drum speaker microphone inside a cabinet or is it freestanding in a stiff wire and rod rig?

I use to have a 15" speaker mounted to the front side of a kick drum. The front drum head was removed. The speaker was suspended so the center cone was inline with the kick beater against the batter head.

Tune the inside drum head real loose. You will get a puny sound in the studio but a massive sound from the speaker microphone. Plus you don't have to stuff the drum with a blanket.
