one question: WHY ARE YOU EVEN THINKING OF DOING THIS?
personal advice: whoever or whatever made you think this was rational is an idiot on this subject
it doesn't make sense. CYMBAL STANDS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE in probably 90% of cases than mic stands
first of all durability isn't really an issue, and second cymbal stands are more money than most mic stands to begin with (after your labor/time and other parts are put in to make it a mic stand) well yeah you get the picture. not to mention they are designed to carry different weightloads and have different dispersion parameters. I don't even think converting a cymbal stand into a mic stand on it's own would be cheap so it certainly won't be $50-$60 by the time you finish this project. And for that price you can get some pretty nice mic stands.
this is silly just order a decent boom stand and call it a day.
Musicians Friend, Guitar Center, American Musical, Sweetwater, Front End Audio, etc whatever floats your boat.
I'm sure $25-$60 will get you a GOOD mic stand that fits your application.
I am 5'11" and I have never had problems with mic stands not being tall enough for me with recording or stage vocal mics. ie the stand still has plenty of height left. If you are curious I use DR PRO stands they are available through Guitar Center and now through Musicians Friend. I got a bunch when I worked at GC with my discount and I happen to keep buying them because I love them for the price (even now that I pay what everyone else does). granted there are nicer stands available they do cost more.
next question: why does the tube mic need to be upside down? it really makes no difference I use tube mics to sing with (or have in the past anyway I guess now I'm on my ST79 and AT4047 kick).
sorry reading over this I sound kind of mean....i don't mean to be it just happened that way
