Extremely impressive mic
I must say this is an awesome bass drum microphone. It is of very good quality and is very robust.
The hypercardioid polar pickup pattern of this mic is a great plus for reducing feedback and bleed from other sources in the studio and on stage.
I have also used this mic for recording a bass cab to try and capture the the low end features and it sounds great.
Pros:
1) Quite sturdy and will take some beating.
2) The hypercardioid polar pattern is a great feature.
3) Comes with mic clip, velcro cable tie and bag for mic.
4) Frequency response(20 - 10,000 Hz) ensures that you can capture lots of low end from the likes of a bass drum, floor tom or bass cab.
Cons:
1) It doesn't produce the same natural attack compared to the likes of some more expensive mics but that's nothing a bit of compression and EQ won't fix.
-----------------------
Summary:
I would definitely vouch for this mic as it is an extremely solid, decent microphone for a very affordable price that has plenty of great features.

The best for this price
I took it for my rehearsal space - it's quite big space, so I needed the mic for bass drum. And for this price it's the best mic. I have received what I was looking for, nice sound of the bass drum, but it depends on PA system as well.

Better than I expected but...
I bought this mic with the intention to use it on a kick.
To start with, build quality of this mic, I would say, is phenomenal considering the price. I was really surprised when I first picked it up, as it feels robust and hefty.
Now, considering its recording capabilities, it definitely delivered when placed in front of the kick. It can manage really well on high pressure levels and the sound it produces is solid and detailed enough.
My only issue with this mic is its freq range (20-10k), unlike the akg d112 (20-17k), and I can say that lacking these 10k and above is an obvious loss for my ears. But then again buying this mic was a conscious choice, as I knew that in advance.
Pros:
+ build quality
+ sounds great and definitely delivers
+ pouch and mount ring included
Cons:
- Frequency range is a bit narrowed, missing all the crispy highs compared to AKG D 112 and similar mics.
Can definitely recommend this mic, as I find it a good choice for recording kick if you are looking for a full and warm sound.

DEAL
Have used this for demos and writing purposes in our studio.
It's built with kick drums in mind. Take the reso head of the drum and sit it just inside, half way high and have a nicely tuned head with a bit of dampening and you're done. Seriously thumping kick, match it up with a LD condenser for the attack if you want to get serious. But for the price its seriously faultless, I prefer this over the D112 that my friend has.
I used it on a bass cab and blended it with the Sans Amp direct out for some extra low end and it did the job perfectly.
Pros; Price, build quality, sound
Cons; One trick pony

First of all - it's built like a tank.
Second - sound is very good, tight and punchy, but if you want can be more airy - depends of your settings.
You can have hard rock bass drum sound or oldschool boomy fill.
Great.

EV always trusted
This is a great Bass Drum mic. I am using it outside the bass drum and it gives me the exact right tone and balance I am looking for.
I am using via a Warm Audio Tone Beast, so I can drive things gently if I need to, but the mic itself is another piece of quality from EV.
The RE20 being one of my favourites, I think I may have another beauty in my collection with this one :-)

Good quality microphone
I really like this microphone. It's not expensive, but it delivers good sound and is built solidly. It also comes with a nice pouch and handy microphone holder. Good deal. Recommended :)

Surprisingly good
I purchased this as a quick replacement for kick drum mic and it went on a big tour. I like the sound I got, but it took some experimenting. The response (tonality) with positioning was quite different from what I expected, but once I found the sweet spot I was happy.
No disappointment here. It held up really well for a year now and stays in my Mic case.

best bass drum mic on the market for the cost
the entire Pl range is fantastic, you can't get better for the cost, I have several sets, they are built like tanks & can take some hammer, but they sound & work great.... way better than most mics at double their cost. great for venues, bands & studios who need something rugged.

decent kick/ bass mic
I mostly recorded bass drums with it... Very versatile and kinda boomy, but important thing is it catches the attack and low end so perfect so the kick drum fits the mix so good. Also recorded some bass guitars with it, totally worth it. I love Electro Voice mics!
