DW Bass Drum Mounted Cymbal Arm

Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A short cymbal arm that clamps to the bass drum hoop, putting a splash or small crash within reach without adding another stand to the floor.

Product studyDW Bass Drum Mounted Cymbal Arm

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Small stages and cramped setups where floor space is gone
  • Adding a splash or effects cymbal close to the snare
  • Gigging kits where fewer stands means faster load-in

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Large, heavy crashes or rides that need a proper boom stand
  • Drummers who move the bass drum often mid-set
  • Anyone wanting cymbal height independent of the bass drum

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 01

Bass drum hoop mount

Clamps directly to the batter-side hoop, so cymbal position moves with the drum and can mar the hoop finish.

Detail 02

Short arm length

Reach is limited compared to a boom stand — designed for cymbals near the kick, not across the kit.

Detail 03

Vibration path through the shell

Cymbal wash transfers into the bass drum and into overhead and kick mics more than a floor stand does.

Detail 04

Load rating by design

Sized for splashes and small crashes; a heavy cymbal will droop and stress the hoop clamp.

Detail 05

Clamp-based height

Vertical range starts at hoop height, so low cymbal placements are not possible.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Cymbal, felts and sleeve may need checking — mount hardware varies by configuration
  2. 02Wood hoops can dent under the clamp; a thin protective strip helps
  3. 03Confirm the clamp opening fits your hoop thickness, especially on thick or die-cast hoops

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will it damage my bass drum hoop?

The clamp presses on the hoop. Snug it enough to hold and no more, and consider a soft shim under the jaw on lacquered wood hoops.

02How big a cymbal can I hang on it?

Stick to splashes and small crashes. Heavier cymbals overload the arm and put leverage on the hoop clamp.

03Does it fit any bass drum?

It fits standard bass drum hoops. Unusually thick or die-cast hoops may exceed the clamp's opening — measure first.

04Will it change how my kick sounds?

Slightly. The cymbal's vibration couples into the shell and bleeds into kick and overhead mics more than a separate stand would.
