Gibraltar SC-GMCMA Shock Mic Mount

If you're recording drums/bands or anywhere with cymbal stands around. Get these. At least one.
I bought this some time ago, but recently needed it in a rehearsal room for test recording.
I knew there was a spare cymbal stand on location, so that saved me transporting an extra mic stand.
By just screwing this on.
I couldn't test the shock absorbing claim because I used a clean cymbal stand just for the
mic.
I don't see the use for that, since normal mic. stands don't have any shock mounts either.

This one is for 8mm cymbal stands.
I always have some 6mm to 8mm adaptors around for that ed, unexpected occasion when I have to work with 6mm threads.

This has been a great addition to my setup. I often had issues with having too many microphone stands on the stage at the one time around the drum kit. They always take a bump now and then or fall due to a clumbsy step across them or against them on stage. I ordered two of these as I had some old boom arm clamps which I wasn't using anymore in my hardware case. I put these on the ends of them and was able to mount two overhead microphones for close micing of the hihats and ride cymbal for most of the venues we play. It's a simple product, cheap too! Setup time is quicker, I don't need to carry two bulky microphone stands with me to gigs and I've saved some handy floor space up for myself and others. Highly recommended purchase!
