shniggens Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I have a Roland electric kit and am looking for an adapter or something to attach a gooseneck or boom directly to the drumkit frame so I can free up a mic stand. I've looked on Roland's website and found nothing. Anyone know of some kind of attachment I can use? Website? Amateur Hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiRoller Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 You'll probably just need a universal clamp to attach to your frame and hold the gooseneck- something like this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=perc/search/detail/base_pid/448015/ my band: Mission 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Knutson Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 You mean, a vocal mic? https://bunny.bandcamp.com/ https://theystolemycrayon.bandcamp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shniggens Posted November 6, 2004 Author Share Posted November 6, 2004 Yes, a vocal mic. Is there a clamp that is threaded so I can screw a boom or gooseneck right onto it? Amateur Hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Knutson Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Hmmm, I don't know about that. You can get a decent boom stand for only $30, though. https://bunny.bandcamp.com/ https://theystolemycrayon.bandcamp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar clamp on my drum kit, and they are easily adjustable to work with tubing of different diameters. Mount one side to the Roland's wrap around frame (assuming you have that style of kit mounting) or to one of the cymbal or other stands (if you have aren't using a wrap around drum rack) and attach a gooesneck or boom to the other end.

Dak Lander Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 This should work. http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/98/981317.jpg Find it HERE! Put a flex/gooseneck or short boom on it to get the mic close & you're in like Flynn. Our Joint "When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it."

I'd attach it to the crash cymbal stand over on the left hand side 9when viewed from the drummer's perspective). Attach a short boom or a long gooseneck to the other end and you're good to go. Or use the one Dak suggested. The prices are similar... it just depends on which one you prefer. I think the first one could be clamped down tighter, but either one should work fine.

Bunny Knutson Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 If the vocal mic is attached to the drum kit, you might need to EQ out a lot of the bottom end, otherwise the mic will pick up hard proximate drum hits as a big THUD. Or you could use a shock mount, but that can be more expensive than just buying a boom stand. https://bunny.bandcamp.com/ https://theystolemycrayon.bandcamp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip OKeefe Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Oh, I'd definitely want to use a shockmount with something like that Bunny... and I don't think it was the cost issue so much as shniggens wanting one less stand to have to deal with and / or wanting everything interconnected... but if i misunderstood and the price IS an issue, then I agree with you - I'd just get a boom stand or headset mic and be done with it.

QB]That is a plastic composite clamp, and will not grip the harware properly. I've done this many times, using the metal drum hardware style clamp pictured elsewhere in this post. They come in a variety fo sizes to fit anything. Use either jsut a boom, or the top half oa a mic stand and a boom, and you'll be styl'n. If you use a decent vocal mic, Shure, sennheiser, etc, the mic will not pick up any excessive vibrations, as they are all shock mount capsules. FWIW, my fav vocal mic for a drummer is a Shure Beta57a or Beta56. Excellent rejection, very nice audio quality. Hope this is helpful. NP Recording Studios Analog approach to digital recording.

I have my mic boom attached to my keyboard stand, and had to buy a shock isolator mic clamp, which took out the banging just fine but its another klutzy thing to mess with. Wish I'd kept the packaging I remember it advertised "Uses the same high-tech O-rings as the Space Shuttle!" I bought it two weeks after the first shuttle disaster...

Philip OKeefe Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Speaking of extra O rings, I have a trio of SE Electronics mics in for an EQ review... they actually include an extra elastic band with each shockmount - a unusual, but very thoughtful addition - if one breaks, you already have a spare on hand.
