Does anyone else hate drum clips?!

[DAS19]

I bought a couple on stage drumclips and they have been nothing but problems. The vibrations of the drums keep making them fall apart, and the 57 sits right up on the drum unless you use a really loose mic clip.

I may just go on ebay and spend 100 dollars on a couple of boom stands.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Just buy some "Troy" boom stands, $25 each, I've had mine for three years and they still work fine.

I have spent the last year getting myself away from the drum clips. I am now clip free and have enough boom stands.
Keep checking craigslist. I bought one from a guy for $10.
Just this week I bought a new mic (AT3035) and it came with a boom stand on a cable.
