Most engineers agree that it is beneficial to remove the front head
when miking up the bass drum. A full drum sound is obtained by
placing the microphone just outside the drum. The further inside, the
drier and less boomy the sound and the better the acoustic separation
of the bass drum from the rest of the kit. Pointing the microphone right
toward the beater produces a harder sound culminating in a "click"
when the microphone is as close as 1 or 1.5 inches to where the
beater strikes the head. Directing the microphone away from this
point, toward the rim of the head, will mellow the sound.

Use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the surface of the
microphone body.
