Does what it should

No problems or quality issues, feels very sturdy even with a heavy mic.

Small and cheerful

This'll hold most kick mics quite well either at the skin aperture or slightly outside. If you're wanting to place the mic inside the drum, it doesn't really reach very far.

Build quality is very basic. Assembly is super easy although mine has a slight lean due to inaccurate hole placements.

OK

Perhaps not the most flexible bass drum stand, but if you cut the hole in the bass drum head to the size of this stand (or turn it a bit), and you like to place the microphone half in/half out of the hole, it is very handy and takes little place. It is also very suitable for guitar combos, as at maximum height it is just high enough to be perpendicular to the center of the speaker.

Nice kick drum mic stand

Nice stand, hard to tip over. I just wish the pole mount was a bit shorter, since it's too tall to mic the bottom of a 22" kick drum.

Not bad

I bought the stand in a bundle package alongside the Audix D6, ending up being half the price.

It's very stable, but it's too simple for a kickdrum mic stand. You can only adjust it roughly 8 cm higher, and it has a fixed reach, which means some mics (the D6 for example) will not have a suitable position on it, as they are subject to high pressure air currents at the soundhole's edge, which spoils the sound. For kicks that lack a soundhole it's a perfect tool.

Works well as a guitar cab mic stand though, worth buying it just for that!

It's cool that you can unmount the top part and it fits in small places.

Overall not bad, but a small adjustable extenson (5-6 cm) would make it sell like cold beer on hot summer day!

Lacking something..

This is an "ok" product in terms of material, but for a more flexible miking of the bass drum (in terms of angle and length), I would recommend the "K&M 21160 One-piece Boom" as an additional item. It attaches to BD 100 nicely, and does not cover that much space. They should be sold as a bundle!

Works Okay

Not very adjustable. Just higher or lower adjustment. Very stable.

almost there

Nice small stand that does the trick and it's nice to have it at least as a spare part in case something goes wrong, however, be careful as it may not bring your microphone to the bass drum as close as you would want.

But, as I said, for this price, you can't go wrong if you need some compact mic stand.

Bd100 stand

I use this one for micing my bass enclousure, not for kick drum. I use 4x10 cabinet for bass , and this little thing is great for that. It's sturdy and reliable and i use it 2 gigs a week for lastr 2 years. Heigh and weight of my cab is great for this stand, and when i place the microphone in front of the speaker it's on the spot where it should be. Its quite small, so it doesn't take much space on the stage. For the price, it's the best choice.

Good stand but you might need to adjust your kick drumhead

The stand is heavy and stable, and the vertical arm can be extended form 15 to 23 cm approx, yet I found the grip swivel kind of difficult to adjust, as I felt I had to force it too much compared to a regular mic stand, for example. You'll still find a way to fit your kick mic in the hole of the resonant head, and though its maneuverability might be reduced, the stand will do the job. You can also use this stand to mic the bottom head of your snare, just be careful not to kick it. The finishing of the stand is also not the best, but for the price is more than ok.

Good mic stand for reasonable price.

The big deal of this stand is the price. I use it for my kick drum in common with Shure Beta 52a and when I bought it I found that it is a little bit too tall for my resonance head hole because the Shure has its own arm which can't be shortened.

Perfect for resonant head of kick drum, but has an annoying issue -

When trying to adjust this little stand we often find we end up taking it apart as the height adjuster is often tighter than the screw which connects the vertical piece to the legs. There is no way to 'lock' the legs to the vertical piece, we may resort to glue!

We did try using this stand for beater side micing, but found the legs got in the way and the microphone couldn't be placed as close as desired.

Easy to use bass drum microphone stand

Extremely easy to use microphone stand for bass drum or small amplifier.

Due to it small size it can fit inside a bass drum, but that makes it prone to picking up vibrations. Best use I would say is in front of the bass drum or a small amplifier, possibly with a bit of carpet underneath to eliminate vibrations.

Very sturdy stand.

This is a very handy sturdy stand and perfect for some uses. However this stand could do with the ability to extend a bit higher and also its not very good if you need to get your mic right into the hole of the front skin on the kick drum. This is still a good stand when used in the correct aplication.

Reliable

A simple good choice: stabile enough, lightweight, small, invisible and no big booms in front of the kick drum.

Perfect for regular bass drum heads

It is a very sturdy mic stand, The only problem with it is that i found was that when i use a megaport drumport, the mic does not reach all the way inside the drum. it works fine on any other type of from bass drum head

Used & Abused In Almost Every Session

This little bad boy came as one of you bundles, along side the D112. It has been used countless times, both live and in the studio. I love its compact structure. Sits neatly out of the way, taking up little room anywhere its been used. Very handy addition to my stand collection. I WOULD RECOMMEND! Thanks Again Guys!
