Manufacturer's description

The Yamaha SKRM-100 Electronic Percussion SubKick is a subfrequency capture device that is the perfect compliment to any bass drum micing situation. This product includes a shock mounted 6 1/2" woofer in a 7-ply birch/mahogany shell with XLR output and comes with it's own custom made stand.

Yamaha took a 6.5" speaker and shock-mounted it into a 10" drum shell and reverse-wired it to an XLR jack to convert the speaker diaphragm into a microphone diaphragm. This allows Subkick to pick up the low-end that a normal microphone can't.

Mounting the speaker into the shell focuses the sound to direct the signal into the diaphragm. Using the Yamaha shell makes the Subkick as easy to use on the road as it is in the studio and it looks great with any drum kit.

Subkick has our tom-mounting bracket mounted directly to the shell. This mounts to a CL-940 ball clamp that slides into the base of a double braced 800 series snare stand.

The flexibility of the stand allows you to use the SKRM-100 for a variety of applications in live or studio situations. It can be used in conjunction with an internal microphone on bass drums and floor toms, djembe, bass guitar cabinets, pianos...your imagination is the only limitation.
