Detail 01
Double ratchet
Two toothed joints lock at set increments, so the angle holds under stick impact instead of creeping.

GibraltarJAW Double-Ratchet Mic Mount
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Double-ratchet mic mount that clamps to drum hardware and positions a mic on two adjustable joints. For miking a kit without extra stands.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Miking toms and snare where floor stands will not fit
- Cutting stand count on a small stage or in a van
- Studio close-miking that has to survive a hard-hitting take
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Overhead or room miking that needs stand height and reach
- Heavy large-diaphragm mics that outweigh the mount's grip
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Clamp mount
Grips a rim, rod, or stand tube on the kit itself, so mic position moves with the drum.
Detail 03
Ratchet vs friction joint
Ratchets hold hard but adjust in steps, so fine aiming comes from the mic clip rather than the arm.
Detail 04
Around $33
Priced as a single-position mount. Miking a full kit means buying several.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mic and mic clip are not included; check thread size on your clip
- 02Measure the bar or rim diameter you plan to clamp to
- 03Clamping to a drum can transmit shell vibration into the mic
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does a microphone come with this?
No. This is the mount only. You supply the mic and, in most cases, the clip that threads onto the mount.
02What can I clamp it to?
Round drum hardware: cymbal stand tubes, rack bars, and hoop or rim mounts depending on the jaw opening. Measure your tubing before committing.
03Will it hold position when I hit hard?
The ratchet teeth are the point. They lock at fixed increments so the joint cannot slowly droop the way a friction ball joint does under repeated impact.
04Can I use this for a condenser?
Small pencil condensers are fine. Large heavy mics put more leverage on the joints, so check the mic's weight against how firmly the mount grips.
