Can this stand comfortably mic up a snare drum? Too short? Not stable enough?

It might be a little awkward, but, It is small enough to fit under, not sure about reaching the top head. Good luck.

It would be suitable. It does have a tendency to feedback though so you would have to make sure the speaker is pointed away from the mic.

Make adjustments. Use a different size screw. It will hold your average shot gun cylinder type mic.

I don't think it's practical to mount it on a microphone stand. It is rather long (18 inches).Also you need to make sure the shock mount is attached. Otherwise, it would make a loud noise if you accidentally touch or bump on it.

Yes, you need a stand so you can adjust the height and angle of the pad. If you are serious about drumming you should have a drummers throne also, so you get used to posture and position to the drum/pad.

No it won't! It looks good and seems to be well made but wouldn't hold large mics at all. I regret buying it.

You can mount this on a straight mic stand. Probably to heavy to raise up very high. I've put it up about waist high to use as a keyboard monitor on a small stage. The problem with using wired microphones is volume. It sounds great up to a point, and then distorts if it gets too loud. If you need volume much louder than a strong speaker or singer, this is probably not up to the job. My opinion, worth what you paid.

You could put this stand on something to get you to the appropriate height and as long as you have a condensing mic or standard that fits in the holder provided you're ok.It would be a fairly fixed position, which you can work with to record but overall a stand with more range, boom or flexed would give more flexibility.

The microphone doesn't matter. It needs an actual mic stand to clamp to or potentially a thinner table top with a lip on it.

You may also want to get a stand for the snare mic to avoid distortion issues if recording!

Unless you've got a super heavy duty mic stand with a very wide base, there's no way this will stand on the end of any stand that is angled. It's just too heavy. My other problem is that I can't find a stand tall enough to facilitate standing up at this mic. As far as isolation goes, however, this does make a notable difference in my mini "studio". So I guess it's a trade off.

I'd use a condenser mic on mine, but there's always a tipping point if the boom is extended too far, true with any boom stand.

Yes. I've never personally mic's snares with it (SM57's, yes) but it would work fine.

The unit is too heavy to be supported by a COMMON boom mike stand. You MIGHT be able to use a very HEAVY duty stand like I use for overhead mics for drums. One needs a heavy base with adequate leg spread to have stability if device AND mic is to be supported on a boom of any appreciable length. Mine I use on a regular stand that the boom has been removed. It works very nice this way. I would recommend that you try a heavy duty stand... they are pricey... that has legs more like a speaker stand. Extend the boom like you need, and then attach weights to simulate the sheilld AND the microphone to check feasibility. You MIGHT need counterbalancing weights on the back of the boom.

The boom arm itself is strong however if you have the boom arm at certain angles the base isn't heavy enough to counter the weight. For instance I hang my kick drum mic on mine and the weight of itself alone is to heavy for the stand unless i position the base under the drum itself. For a desk top setting where the mic is upright you would be good to go.

Yes, you can adjust it without problems; one thing to consider is that this stand is not as strong as the 800 or 900 series so if you have a heavy snare drum, it is better to buy a 800/900 series stand.

I apologize for my late reply. I've only used it with a mic stand and it's a little flimsy. I'm not sure how it would work with a desktop. Hope you find something that works.
