Jason Wilcock, producer (and drummer) from Stakeout Studios (http://www.stakeoutstudios.com) guides you through the construction of his personally devised bass drum mic mount. It's easy when you know how!
This video was shot during our day at Stakeout filming guest video lessons with James Hester for the Rhythm Drum Lessons CD. If you missed the lessons you can pick up a copy of the issue at http://bit.ly/8Y7oET

What about the XLR socket? Where could I get a half decent one from? (The last thing I'd want after all the effort put in would be a crap sound because of that)

You can use the Air vent for the mic cable you know

If I were doing that, I would just invert the wiring in the cable for the mic on the resonant head. That way, I wouldn't have to invert the polarity at the mixer; it would already be inverted. That's the cool thing about balanced cables: you can invert polarity by swapping pin 2 and 3 (or tip and ring) while soldering the cable.

Looks awful and like a pain to get all the parts. Yes, the parts are available but why bother...Kelly Shoe comes with everything including extra parts and a warranty and costs only $50. Also doesn't look like something a high school kid put together with shop parts.

Where do you get the elastic and connectors? What are they called?

It's a great idea, but I can barely be bothered changing heads most of the time, nevermind doing all that.
I think it would make your kick sound great though.
