Re: PSA: Band and Taper mic stands

speaking as a taper (not so much with DMB but w/ many other bands), its become increasingly more difficult in the past 10 years thanks to random terror attacks (London, Paris, etc). security has stepped up their policies and bag searches tenfold. This unfortunately creates more issues for tapers as we are the only ones with bags allowed in. (and even then its dependent on the venue)....

its a mess and I can see why DMB tapers have dwindled over the past 10 years. sometimes its just not worth the hassle, not the mention ticket prices have soared 2/3x what they were 10 years ago.
