K&M 24030 Microph. Holder Drums BK

As a sound engineer working with different bands at each event, I bought these to keep in my tool case so that I was better equipped to handle exotic drum mounting methods. I've found that, while the standard clips that come with the Sennheiser microphones are very good, some drums with thicker hoops and 'suspended' tom mounts can be tricky to handle.

These clips have filled that need very, very well. Negating the need to bring out another couple of boom stands on several occasions. The clips are very versatile with a wide range of adjustment, allowing you to get the microphone in just the right position.

Like all K&M Products the quality is high and there's a reassuring weight to them whilst not being too heavy for their intended task.

For any sound engineer dealing with varying bands on a regular basis or a venue looking to increase the versatility of their existing kit, these are definitely a must-buy. While a little bulky to be my go-to clip, they will continue to be a tool within my box of tricks. Recommended!

These little mic clamps are great, all of K&M's gear is sturdy and well built. They hook onto practically any drum, even those toms with akward/obscure mounts. Work brilliantly on snares, being close enough but not angling the mic flat on the skin or half way across the drum, and will remain firmly in place even after a drummer has moved his kit around 6 times during soundcheck. Must have tools for any audio professional who doesn't feel like re adjusting the mic stands every time the bass drum slips and for anyone who is bored of budget clamps that drift closer to the skin every other beat.

K & M stuff is always of a very high quality build. I knew of the existence of this type of mic holder but for some reason hesitated. Anyway, I now have one permanently sat on the rim of my snare drum with an SM57 sat nicely above it. Fantastic! Saves so much space and clutter rather than trying to find room for a microphone stand in between the snare, tom and hi hat etc.

The grip is firm too, meaning that unlike the normal mic stand I use, the snare mic stays perfectly aligned to where I positioned it - probably because it moves with the drum being hit. Very useful and will be buying again for my floor tom.
