Gear One MK1000 kick mic "demo"

Three quick samples of the Gear One MK1000 on kick (+ a single Audio Technica AT2020 overhead on the rest of the kit). Recorded straight into a Tascam US-1800 in a lousy room with a less-than-optimal 22" Mapex kick drum. Each quick loop / snippet is 1) presented in mono / processed with compression and some EQ (mostly a 6dBish scoop at around 300Hz on the MK1000 and 80hz rolloff on the 2020 with about 5dB less on the MK1000 than the 2020), then 2) presented EXACTLY as recorded / NO processing at all save normalization, MK1000 panned hard left channel, AT2020 panned hard right. The first two samples are the MK1000 in the resonant head cutout, the third is the MK1000 positioned about 4" from the head and just about 2" from dead center of the drum.

Hey great recording, I planned to use it on a song. My only criticism is that the ride is a little heavy on the mixing, but these are extremely funky lines. Nice chops, hope to hear more!
