I was a little skeptical about purchasing this mount. I read reviews where it snapped. Well I'll tell you I've was very carefull putting it on the first time. But when I figured out how easy it went on I try it in different places on my drums and each time it got easyer. In fact I ordered 3 more. They are a little pricey . But the material they use is very forgiving if you put it on the way the instructions shows. Just don't force it to much. It all so doesn't interfere with the drum head rim. I recommend this mount.
