The Sennheiser e901 is a half-cardioid boundary layer microphone. The e901 is the optimal microphone for kick drum and grand piano. It is highly robust and completely step-resistant. It benefits from an integrated pre-amp.
I've tried them all and this is the best bass drum microphone (for a rock cover band) under $250. I have 2 of them and they sound fantastic in my IEM and just thunderous through FOH. Sound engineers just love it and have not needed to double mic for any venue. I use the mic with the Kelly Shu Flatz e901 shock mount system and it's perfect!
