Not the cheapest, but it will save you a seperate stand, and your wood hoops
Because it has a rubber finish on the contact surface which clamps on the hoops.
It's like it's made for wood hoops, but it's also nice to keep your metal hoops undamaged.
I clamped it on the resonance side at "7 'o clock" near the bottom, with the flex-arm pointing diagonally upwards toward the center, with a AKG D112 basedrum mic. in it (which is a clunky, heavy mic.)
Played a few hours, looked at it the next day and the nor the clamp nor the flex arm moved an inch.
So it's good. Keeps the position. Looks very sexy too.
That's one less piece of clutter in front of your kit.
The flex-arm is long enough to reach the center of the biggest size basedrums, and bend inside the port.
In fact, if you use a 20" or less, you'd probably want to screw a shorter flex arm on it -if you just mike the center of the resonance batter from outside and don't reach inside via a port.
Shorter flex-arms are even better in holding their position, but: too short to bend inside the drum port.
It's all standard mic. threads on this thing, so no worries about attaching other, aftermarket microphone related flex-arms.
That variability to switch the flex-arms is the big advantage of these type of clamps.

Totally worth it
Not needing a stand for your bass drum is a blessing but don't expect a perfect solution straight out the box. You'd need to have your mic hole centered for this to align properly from the get go, and that's typically not the case with bass drum heads.
What I did was put it straight above the mic hole, pull the neck in a half moon position and keep it there with a string tied to one of the tension rods. Hasn't moved an inch since and I'm happy I bought it even if it is a bit pricey

Top product for low price
Get rid of the always shifting mic-stand or turning kick-mic. This mount does a very good job and is really easy to mount ont the kick. No disturbing noise like many other have in this price-range. Simple & good product.

Good looks on your drums
Nice and easy fix. One problem: the bending on the passive side off the clamp is in the wrong direction. If you fit it the right way, the gooseneck points outwards. I bended it over to the other side. Its a sturdy construction. I us it all the time now.

A game changing kick mic mount
I have used LP-Claws, small stands, and various K&M mounts for kick mics over the years but was interested in this mount just from the pictures. After using it on a few gigs I honestly have no idea why I haven't seen anyone using one of these before, you can get the mic exactly where you want it and it doesn't budge, looks super clean too.
It's not the cheapest thing on earth but I'm honestly so glad I decided to try it out as I don't think I could go back to using anything else!

Week goose
The gooseneck doesn't hold it's position. tends to spring back a little. also tricky to set up the direction of the mic. in general it works, but not as easy as it seemed

The gooseneck gets loose over time
The gooseneck gets loose over time, especially if you bend it. Great idea, bad execution.

Easy handling
Good handling, saves space.
I use it to put the 'wurst' mic in the middle of the kit.
Only remark is the gooseneck, it got stuck on the first mic clip I mounted it, and i can't get it loose.
