Audix D-Vice Rimclamp

I bought this product together with my Audix i5 microphone for miking snare drums in cases where space around the snare drum too limited to use mic stand. The clip performs as designed, it allows you a lot of freedom positioning the microphone and will fit any snare drum out there. Be sure to use a microphone that has good handling noise damping, otherwise you may end up with some vibrations transfer from the snare drum rim. Also make sure your mic holder is tightened very strong to this holder so it won't unscrew during the show. I have not seen this clip ever come off the drum on it's own and I've been using it for four years now in live sound performance. The design also makes it very easy and quick to change snare drums during changeover with retaining the position relative to the snare. I recommend this product for live use.

Small venues can become a maze of cables and intertwined mic stand legs when anything bigger than a guitar-bass-drums three piece shows up. In our own room, the stage space is significantly limited and thus little inventions like this become invaluable. Rather than having to cope with the additional profile of mic stand feet and weaving them between other drum hardware, this allows clamping to a rim with the added maneuverability of a goose neck for careful positioning. It also fastens securely enough to give you peace of mind that your 57 won't be smashed to smithereens by one misplaced drum stick sending it tumbling to the ground.

Great adjustability means that it will accommodate probably any microphone likely to be used on drums. Clips on to the drum hoop very easily but securely, and is very easy to remove and re-position as necessary. The gooseneck bar is a tight fit in its clamp, which makes it s bit trickier to raise the bar up and down, but don't let this put you off. It's a nice design.
I've marked it down one star for quality because the plastic does feel a little flimsy, which may (and I stress "may") be an issue after a lot of mounting/de-mounting. For me, however, this isn't an issue as I'm using it on a drum kit that never leaves the house.
Overall, great product.
