GibraltarBass Drum Mounted Cymbal Arm
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A cymbal arm that mounts directly to the bass drum hoop, putting a crash over the kit without adding a stand on the floor.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Clearing floor space in a cramped drum riser or corner
- Fast setup and teardown at gigs with tight changeovers
- Cocktail kits and compact setups with minimal hardware
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers who don't want extra hardware clamped to the bass drum hoop
- Hard hitters who need a rock-solid, independently anchored cymbal
- Anyone who moves the cymbal position between songs or setups
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
No floor base
Frees up the footprint a cymbal stand would take. Useful on small stages and risers.
Detail 03
Hoop clamp
Fit depends on your hoop thickness. Wood hoops and metal hoops vary, so check yours.
Detail 04
$45.99
Cheaper than a stand, and it also removes one piece of hardware from the load-in.
Detail 05
Arm rather than boom
Positioning is limited to what the arm and hoop location allow. Less placement freedom than a boom stand.
Detail 06
Gibraltar hardware
Built around standard drum hardware sizing, so it works with common bass drum hoops and cymbal posts.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Clamping to a wood hoop can mark the finish — check for a protective liner
- 02Cymbal felts and sleeve may be sold separately; confirm before your next gig
- 03Bass drum vibration transfers to the cymbal, so it will move as you play
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will it damage my bass drum hoop?
Clamps can dent or mark a hoop if overtightened, especially on wood. Tighten just enough to hold, and use a protective liner if the clamp has one.
02Does it fit any bass drum?
It fits standard hoops, but thickness varies between wood and metal hoops. Measure your hoop before ordering.
03How far can I position the cymbal?
You're limited to the arm's reach from the hoop. It's good for a crash above the bass drum, not for a cymbal out past the toms.
04Is this steadier than a cymbal stand?
No. A stand on the floor is more stable. This trades some steadiness for floor space and a faster setup.
