The descriptions I've read of the D6 make it sound a little to "Insta-Kick" for me. The irony here is that Audix already makes the D4, which is IMHO (I finally got to do that!) the best dynamic mic application-"tailored" to the kick drum. Sounds like the drum! Live sound guys (I was one) hate tripping over cables on the run down from FOH to adjust mic placement. Placed correctly, the D4 is fantastic, by which I mean that it's as good as the drum.

Someone should make a "kick drum mic" with a little flash ram thingy in it containing a bunch of Clearmountain samples it can shoot down the wire. Then FOH would have more time to gate the toms.
