I'm trying to mic my snare and I've been unhappy with the clip I have. Any suggestions for either a mic clip or stand that is fairly unobtrusive but allows for good positioning?
I use the Shure A56D Microphone Drum Mount with a rubber mic clip. With a SM57 it's never fallen out and is easy to place No vibration issues either. It's one less stand I have to pack.
Side note for short booms...
Get the weighted one if you use a drum riser. It has smaller footprint and won't fall off the edge.
Get the tripod if working on floors and/or if you need to reach extra far.
That's what I'm currently using and I can't quite get it into the position I want. When I swivel the hex shaped unit I have to choose between two positions, each of which is just a little off....
Don't plan on extending that arm anywhere but straight up because that base is so small it will tip over. I had that stand and got rid of it.
