Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A short cymbal arm that mounts to a bass drum so a splash or small crash sits close over the kick. For drummers adding a cymbal without adding a stand.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Tight stages where another stand tripod won't fit
  • Adding a splash or effects cymbal within easy reach
  • Compact kits that need fewer legs on the floor

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Heavy ride cymbals — a short bass drum arm isn't the mount for that
  • Bass drums with no existing bracket or post to attach to
  • Drummers who reposition cymbals constantly during a set

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.

DW DWSM770S Bass Drum-Mounted Short Cymbal Arm construction detail

Detail 01

Bass drum-mounted

It borrows the kick's mass instead of a tripod, so floor footprint drops and the cymbal moves with the drum.

Detail 02

Short arm

Placement stays close over the bass drum. Good for splashes and small crashes, not for reaching across the kit.

Detail 03

Arm, not a stand

There is no base or upright. You need a mounting point on the drum already in place.

Detail 04

DW hardware

Built to the same weight class as DW stands, which means more metal and more heft than a lightweight add-on arm.

Detail 05

$124.99

Priced above generic clamp arms. You're paying for hardware that holds its angle after repeated setups.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your bass drum has a bracket or post this can attach to
  2. 02No cymbal, felts, or wing nut assumed — check what you already own
  3. 03Mounted cymbals transmit kick vibration, so expect some sympathetic ring

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Can I put a ride on this?

No. It's a short arm meant for splashes and smaller crashes. A ride's weight and the leverage of a long arm belong on a dedicated stand.

02Does it need a separate clamp?

It mounts to the bass drum, so you need a mounting point there. Check what hardware your kick already has before ordering.

03Will it fit a non-DW bass drum?

Depends on the mounting hardware on your drum, not the brand. Match the bracket or post size before buying.

04Why use this instead of a cymbal stand?

Floor space. It removes a tripod from a crowded stage and keeps a small cymbal within arm's reach over the kick.
