The Shure PG52 mounted on a boom stand positioned at the opening of the kick drum porthole. For maximum punch and more tone, this is the way to go. For a more Lars Ulrich-like bass drum sound, Place the PG52 way into the drum just two inches from the batter head. Point it a few inches off the point where the bass drum beater hits the head. This way you only get the attack and filter-off the boomy sound found further back of the shell.
