"Hi, I'm in Delaware."
If you're like me, then paying $30-$50 for a shorter mic stand is obnoxious. But if you've got a bunch of $10 Musician's Friend mic stands lying around, then it's pretty easy to make yourself a mic stand that you can use for your kick, guitar cabs, or 1-year-olds. All you need is a fine-tooth saw, the kind that is designed for cutting metal. Just hack off the bottom of the pole and ta-da! It's worked pretty well for me so far.
