Interesting!

My only question is why? Just use a mic stand.

Seems to me like that apparatus would kill the internal shell resonance.
Take both heads off and hit the side of the shell with the palm of your hand. It will resonate at a certain freq.
Bolt that thing to the inside of your shell and do the same test. I guarantee you wont hear a damn thing.

In some way they should gain some money from nothing, shouldn't it?
Most of the times they sell you something that is huge lie, that's how world goes sometimes lol
I wouldn't use it since I have my mic stand.
Even if my mic stand is picking up some resonance from the ground, where the kickdrums is lying, I wouldn't mind at all!

Agreed.

But these are mountable externally as well. Would that make a difference?
 
Mount it from the inside you lose resonance.

Mount it from the outside you are putting additional stress on the tuning lugs its attached to, which will put your drum out of tune easier.

I guess i still dont see the point, unless you're looking for absolute precise repeatability every single time you mic the drum. In which case you could still get the same results using a stand, and you don't have to worry about breaking this thing bolted to your drum.
