Considering the bass and drums are in the same room, I would definitely try the Beyer m88 for its hyper-cardiod characteristic. I would worry that the RE20 would get too much bleed. |
Also, build a little "tent" around the bass mic. This can be a bunch of heavy blankets draped over a mic stand. Just get something in between the bass mic and the drums.
