I was looking for a cheaper additional stereobar and bought this. Does what it is supposed to. I also plan to use it to mic toms and save on mic stands. Think it will be perfect for that since you can change the distance (and hence angle of the two side bars) to bring the mics closer in on the source, and have the correct angle that needs to be set... I also have the røde stereobar which cost a bit more. That one is great with all the pre made meassurements and angle for correct stereo mic techniques. This one doesnt have that but it can do the same job for less, but you have to meassure and/or eyeball the correct angles. Which is not a big problem anyway.
