DW2030 Counterweight for Boom Cymbal Stand
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A counterweight for DW 2000-series boom cymbal stands. Buy it if a boom arm extended out over a kit tips or creeps under a heavy cymbal.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Long boom reaches over a rack tom or hi-hat
- Heavy 20-inch-plus rides mounted off a boom arm
- Stands that drift downward mid-set under cymbal weight
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Straight cymbal stands with no boom arm to balance
- Drummers cutting hardware weight for load-in
- Anyone whose boom stays put with a short arm extension
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Counterweight
Adds mass to the short side of the boom arm, offsetting cymbal weight so the arm stops pulling the stand off balance.
Detail 03
Slides on the boom arm
Position is adjustable along the arm. Further from the pivot means more counter-leverage from the same weight.
Detail 04
Adds weight to the stand
The fix for tipping is more mass, so the stand gets heavier to carry and pack.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your boom arm is DW 2000-series and check the arm diameter
- 02It won't fix a loose tilter or worn boom clamp — tighten those first
- 03One counterweight balances one boom arm; multiple boom stands need multiple
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a DW 5000 or 9000 boom stand?
It's built for the 2000-series boom arm. Other DW series use different arm diameters, so check the arm thickness against the counterweight bore before buying.
02Where on the arm should I place it?
On the short end, opposite the cymbal. Slide it further from the pivot for more counter-leverage; closer in if the stand feels over-corrected.
03My boom keeps drooping — will this fix it?
Only if it's a balance problem. If the boom slips at the tilter or clamp, that's a tightening or wear issue and a counterweight won't hold it.
04Does this let me use a heavier cymbal on a boom?
It helps the stand stay balanced with a heavier cymbal out on the arm, but it doesn't increase the stand's or the arm's own load rating.
