Clipping onto the rim might take a minute or two, but it is no problem. The adjustable clip mount is convenient. The material is mildly flexible, like a firm rubber, so there is very little risk of breaks if your drummer is wild and hits it (God forbid), but that means it is very wobbly and you will see your mic moving back and forth. HOWEVER, there is no noticeable change in the sound because of this. To my ears, at least, the tones and levels are consistent throughout tracking. I've used an SM57 and Audix i5 with this and both are long and kind of heavy which I'm sure contributes to the wobble.
