What the Pros Are Saying
“They make the workflow and visual of mic’ing drums much more elegant, while saving space in the booth. My favorite part is that I can move the whole thing back out of the way, let the drummer get all set up without any mics, and then just move the whole thing right back into place, making a couple of little adjustments. It’s fun!”

Lightweight + Secure
Base model weight: 6 lb 14 oz (3.1 kg)
You’re mics can fly high safely on a stand that you can pick up with one arm. Around the drums, add arms to hit up to five additional sources. When the session is over, fold down the arms and move it out of the way until the next session.
“Base 4 completely rethinks the mic stand… these stands are so much lighter and easier to use than the heavy steel stands we all know and love, but are strong enough to hold heavy ribbon and tube mics. It’s much easier to move these stands around the studio, and your back and shoulders will thank you.”
– John Baccigaluppi, Publisher, Tape Op Magazine
Balanced + Stable
Our patented 4-legged base delivers unmatched balance, even with multiple arms and heavy mics fully extended. And despite its strength, it’s surprisingly light and easy to move.
“Base 4 has made vast improvements on an item that has really needed it for decades. The ruggedness and balance of their stands is superb, and the mechanisms are heavy-duty and positive-locking. I never worry that their stand will slip or that a mic will hit the ground. Plus, I can mic my entire drum kit with just two stands… Way less clutter on the studio floor.”

Add-on arms
The stand is just the start—Add-on arms unlock Big Tree’s full potential, turning one stand into a multi-mic rig, with precise mic placement exactly where you need it.
Placed on the floor tom side of the kit, for example, use a 24″ Add-on arm for the floor tom, 16″ for a second rack tom, 12″ for cymbals and 20″ for the kick. With the overhead that’s 5 stands replaced by 1 Big Tree. Make it 6 if you add the Stereo Kit. It all comes down to how you position the stand. Each arm or stub mount can be attached anywhere on the riser, on another arm or on a leg-an endless number of configurations. You can build your mic rig exactly how you want it.
Recommended Add-ons include: 12″ arm, 16” arm, 20” arm, 24″ arm, Stereo Kit and Stub Mounts. Available in Natural with black connectors. Contact us about Custom Black options.
