..well thats basically it. It sound a lot deeper and not as choppy when I am playing, but really sounds bad when recording. Do I need to have a hole in the drum? (i have often seen this but don't have one)

I am trying to record the bass drum with an sm57 onto cool edit.

Thanks for any help.

oh, i know cool edit pretty well, ok take the drum track that you want, and goto the "edit wave" section, where you zoom right in on one track

then under transform, choose amplitude, then pick dynamics processing, under that there are different compression ratios, try them and see what gives you the best results...

i'd usually do a real low cut on the bass drum eq and boost the lower mids/higher lows
