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.
