the t.bone CC 57

The clip is simply not good enough. It will in no way attach to diecast hoops! Its only kind of sitting well on triple flange.. dont even try on sticksaver or s-hoops!

Its beyond me how thomann can release such a failed attempt.

NO, i did not test the sound (so a neutral 3 star is refelcting that) as it is unusable for drum miking unless you have only 3-flange hoops, and you dont mind that it does not sit very firm even then.

The single spring design is as bad as you can think,. and you need two hands to get it attached.

Simply cant recommend this one even though it may sound kind of decent it is not fulfilling its purpose as a drum mic ad the mount is a disaster.

t.bone makes a lot of grat mics, but this is not one of them due to the mount!

And the real deal: beyerdynamic TG57/58 is not THAT expensive, so get that. That one works like a charm.

Returning it for a refund.

Really sad about this one, as I own several t.bone mics that do VERY well against a lot of my more expensive microphones.
