I have a drum set that is recording nicely - so the mics that are used usually stay deployed each having its ziplock bag pulled over when not in use. It is kind of tucked in a corner and hard to navigate around the stands... Depending on who is playing it (I can assure you it should not be me) it gets reconfigured. It has occurred to me that some of the mics could be mounted overhead (while still able to reposition). Has anyone done this or know of hardware like clamps that can grab a beam that adapt to mic-stand tubing.
A couple of years ago I watched Standing In the Shadows of Motown and I think they had mics suspended from what looked like horizontal 1-1/4 galvanized pipes about 7' up. Of course there are reasons why some things aren't done anymore - but it may have been typical (and may still be used. Not having been in many studios, what do I know?). Anyway, I want to try something in this spot and am open to tips and suggestions...
