I'm referring to the common gesture for trying if a mic is open: is it a
real bad thing to tap a dynamic mic's capsule? What about a condenser?

I've been known to heckle at my bandmates when they do it, but I'd like
to know the real entity of the damage.

TIA.

In drunken weddings/functions etc I've witnessed people picking up the
mic & holding it up to their ear like a telephone to hear if it's
on...
