Cheap kick drum mic stand
This is a very low cost kick drum mic stand. I ordered this as part of a set with the T.bone BD 300, it is cheaper to get these together than seperately. There isn't alot to say about this stand other than for the money is good value. It comes on 2 parts, the bass unit and the upright. I found the threads on the Bass unit were not cut very well and the two parts didn't screw together as easily as expected, though once in place they were stable. I wont be disassembling anyway. You can also screw a microphone boom onto the end of the shaft as well for placing the kick mic a little closer to the beater. This would also double up as a guitar cabinet mic stand. All in all this is a pretty handy little stand for ery little money.

Great solution
A really good little piece of hardware for loading a bass drum with a mic.
It can be a little fiddly to put together inside the drum, dependent on the size of the hole in the drum skin that you have to put your hands through, but hey-ho.
Well made, lasted me 3 years so far, and is still in perfect nick.

Fine item
If you have not s mike with grip, ti's a very good solution to record your bass drum. I personally placed it inside the b.d. from the small output hole, to maximise recording direct signal.

Heavy, great for Kick mic
Nice HEAVY little stand. Bought it for kick drum mic.
Because the hole in my drums is quite low i had to mount my AKG D112 MK1 upside down in the holder. This mic is quite bulky so i had to leave it pointing a bit up (rear mesh of mic would be touching the stand).
Not really a problem of this stand, rather the AKG mic.
Would have to point it up a bit anyway to point it to the beater.
The stand can be disassembled in to a set of "Sticks" so it is easier to transport.
It is also very heavy so a heavy mic won't tip the stand over + you don't need to weight it down with a sand bag.
Would recommend..

Simple and effective
Got it in a Superlux Pro 218A Bundle to mike my 20" bass drum with no porthole.
Simple and effective design, very heavy and stable. Uses very little space so it is unlikely to be accidentally kicked on a small stage.
The processing is more than decent.
All in all, works great unless you want to reach deep inside the porthole.

For the price? You can't go wrong.
This is literally the cheapest stand you can get, but it's still fully functional and actually quite sturdy.
There's of course gonna be some plastic elements in it, where it probably it's not the best idea - like the clamps, but what can you do - the thing is dirt-cheap.
If you don't plan on moving it around too much - get it. It's perfectly fine.

Does the job done for a low price
I'm using it as a microphone stand for a Cajon. The height is perfect for positioning the mic inside/outside the hole. It is sturdy and tough, although it doesn't feel premium, but it doesn't need to be, especially for the price.

Millenium BD 100
This item arrived in record time again...thanks Thomann.
The BD 100...when I opened the box I was a little bemused as I have never seen one of these before. I had to try it out ASAP so I went up to the Studio and put a Sennheiser E602 mk11 on the end of it.
The first thing that struck me was how secure and well balance it felt. No chance of this tipping over.
First I tried it out in front of the kick drum and it did exactly what it says on the tin. It was fine.
Then I stood in inside the kick drum shell so I could pick up the click of the beater and again it preformed well. However I found without padding inside the drum it did tend to move a tad but once I put the padding back and packed it round the stand it was perfect.
I'm looking forward to using this on the road to save messing around with boom stands.
All in all I recommend trying this stand for yourselves. Its not expensive and if you don't like it you haven't lost a lot.
I certainly think it will be an asset to the PA company as well as the Studio.
