When you properly place a sdc on snare it is technically out of the way.
That doesn't stop people from hitting them.
with this thing its allowing you to place the mic close to the snare but with protection.
and if you're drummer can't avoid hitting it then they've ruined that part of the take either way you look at it.
too bad when you hit undo, you can't undo damage to your mic lol
so i see what you mean but i don't.
Drummers have eyes too.
but i'd rather he break a stick on some mesh than some mesh breaking on his stick.
Plus the right condensers on snare kick ass. thats the whole point of this thread.
