Roles For The Jazz Band Instrumentation

Recorded eight piece jazz band into my Tascam, no hums or glitches of any kind.

Came home from shooting a jazz band in a dark club in Bangkok and found that my 50mm Summicron with built in hood no longer sported its Leica pinch cap which must have fallen off and rolled away unnoticed into the shadows. This cap is a perfect fit, just tight enought, and I'm sure it's not going to do a runner like its distiguished predecessor. I like it so much that I ordered two more from B&H for my 90mm Tele-Elmarit-M and my 135mm Tele-Elmar respectively, both of which have rather annoying detachable hood and lens cap combinations that make them rather fiddly to change and the stock lens cap doesn't fit without the hood. If you want to avoid the hassle of these hoods, the Kaiser 40mm push on cap is the ideal replacement.

I play drums in a Blues / Jazz jam band. I needed a simple stand for a Shure SM57 microphone to record the kick drum. Other short stands with a boom have to be contorted to line up with the resonant head's port hole (8 from floor to dead center). Coupled with a standard Shure mic clip, the Auray stand is perfect! The weight of the base is substantial and the price is right.

I am an audiophile who enjoys spending evenings immersed in jazz, classical, big band, classic rock ... a wide range and wide variety from my recorded collection and subscriptions. I could not justify professional headphones, but these are PERFECT for those occasions when the rest of the household does not want to hear my music.

I've used so many roles of this and have used others only ending up using this one again and again. No question the best gaf tape around.

I am a drummer and bought two of these mics for my overhead mic setup. They pick up the instrumentation very well...better than I thought. No tom mics, just snare, bass drum mics and overheads for the recording I was doing and the final product came out very well.

No big deal, but the instrumentation of this item can be intimidating. Once set up with a bit of patience it works well. As my kids realized the planet does not stay still.

I love it! It's just what I needed for that extra jazz in my photo's.

An awesome camera case, plenty of room for my gear. Roles easily.
