Ok the problem is this: everytime I mic a kick drum I've never satisfied by the raw sound I get.
I use a Sennheiser e602 (maybe it can be the problem..don't know) and everytime also if I go up with the tuning I get a very bassy kick sound...I mean, lot of ultra low frequencies and not too much attack and "thump".
I use a pillow and a blanket as dampening but these ultra low frequencies are always there.
Here some examples:

Eq kick drum: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1436721/Drums_K_eq.mp3
and another recorded drums with kick tuned higher:

Don't know if it's normal for you...I heard some e602 samples and the bass frequencies were much more controlled and there was much more "click" on the top end. And I don't think that tuning up more and more can solve the problem because a super high kick sucks too...
Any idea? Does it sounds ok for you?
