ShureA56D Microphone Drum Mount

1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A drum-rim mount for Shure mics. Buy it if you're miking snare or toms and want the mic off a stand and out of the way.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tight drum kits where boom stands crowd the throne or hats
- Snare and rack tom miking during live gigs
- Touring setups where fewer stands means faster load-in
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drums without a rim or hoop to clamp onto
- Anyone needing mic placement away from the drum shell
- Studios where a stand already gives better positioning control
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
Made by Shure
Sized around Shure mic bodies and clips; check fit before assuming a third-party mic will seat properly.
Detail 03
Black finish
Disappears on a dark kit under stage lighting, which matters for video and photos.
Detail 04
$42 price
Cheaper than a short boom stand plus base, and takes up no floor space.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No microphone included — this is the mount only
- 02Confirm your mic clip threads match before ordering
- 03Rim mounts transmit shell vibration; expect more mechanical noise than a stand
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with a microphone?
No. It's a mount only. You supply the mic and, depending on the model, the clip.
02Will it fit my snare?
It clamps to the drum hoop. Standard snare and tom hoops are the target; unusual or oversized hoops may not seat.
03Can I use it with a non-Shure mic?
It's built around Shure mics. Other brands may work if the clip threading matches, but check first.
04Is a rim mount as good as a stand?
It saves space and keeps placement consistent, but a stand isolates the mic better from shell vibration.
