Hello,
I am having an issue with live micing of my kick drum. I am sure I am not the only one but i am hoping someone here has found a solution that would work.
I have the normal type stands for the kick mic. I have the one with 3 legs and the one with the solid metal base. Both boom stands. The problem is the boom itself. No matter how i set it up, the boom shoots out away from the drum. One bump from the lead singer or guitar player and the mic shoots out of the kick and is history until i at least the end of that song.
I guess my first idea is to get one of those mic stand goosnecks. Question is, are they sturdy enough to stay in place and hold the mic so its not resting on my port hole. This idea would at least allow me to put the stand safley next to my kick and wrap the gooseneck around the edge.
Just looking for some input here. Any ideas are welcomed.
Thanks,
