The Behringer C112 is a seriously impressive budget drum mic, especially for bass drum. It's got a surprising amount of punch and handles high SPLs like a champ, making it perfect for gigging musicians or home recording on a tight budget. Just be prepared to work the placement a bit to tame any harshness.
