Description
Overview
The Latin Percussion Claw With Mic Mount is a professional-grade mounting solution designed for percussionists and sound engineers who require a secure, versatile way to position microphones on a variety of instruments. Engineered from an exclusive, proprietary plastic blend, this mount combines lightweight portability with maximum strength and durability to withstand the rigors of the stage and studio.
Key Details
- High-Strength Construction: Built using a proprietary plastic blend that ensures long-term durability and structural integrity.
- Advanced Ratcheting System: Features a specialized ratcheting mechanism that allows for free rotation and precise adjustment while maintaining a rock-solid grip.
- Spring-Loaded Jaw: The ergonomic, spring-loaded design makes attaching the mount to rims or shells fast and effortless.
- Heavy-Duty Z-Rod: Equipped with a 3/8″ diameter Z-Rod, providing the necessary stability to support larger or heavier microphones without sagging.
- Vibration Isolation: Includes a rubber-lined mount specifically designed to isolate the microphone from mechanical vibration and reduce unwanted cross-talk.
Use Cases
This versatile mount is ideal for any percussion setup where traditional tripod stands are impractical or obstruct the performer. Common applications include:
- Snare and Toms: Securely mounting close-mics for punchy, direct drum sounds.
- Congas and Timbales: Attaching microphones directly to the rims of hand percussion for consistent placement during movement.
- Hybrid Setups: Quickly adding microphones to auxiliary percussion instruments without needing additional floor space.
Installation
Installation is straightforward and requires no tools. Simply compress the spring-loaded jaw to grip the rim of your instrument. Once attached, use the ratcheting system to rotate the mount into the desired angle. Finally, slide your microphone or clip into the rubber-lined mount on the 3/8″ Z-Rod and tighten to secure.

The Claw is designed for universal application across a wide range of percussion hardware:
- Instrument Compatibility: Compatible with snares, toms, timbales, congas, and other rimmed percussion instruments.

Top notch microphone. I’ve used much more expensive mics that don’t sound this good. A fantastic value.
