Any tips on preventing issues from kick drums when recording on-stage/stagelip?
Sometimes I've been able to position so a monitor blocks the direct line of tight from the kick drum and that has worked well.
Do windscreens help block the pressure wave? Would a pop screen help?

Cant you just use a pattern that doesn't focus as much on the drum.
I always try to aim away from the drummer...
Maybe get you mics up a little higher?

agree, try to move the mics away from the drummer or angle them away so the drummer is off axis by a good amount to the mics. Splitting the mics widely to get them away from the kit could help too.

I find - for bar and club stage taping - I can get about 6-8 feet apart before I start to get too discreet L/R sounds...depends on the band though. I like to aim just between the drummer and guitar amps - on axis of neither.
Remember - if you get too much of a L/R sound - you can pan the channels together in post...

Cards at ORTF with the drums in the middle
sound sources 60 degrees off axis of a cardiod will be down 6 db than those directly on axis.

I was thinking something like this would work but, having no stage taping experience... didn't want to chime in.
Anyway, this is what logic and my general tapir knowledge told me.
