Detail 01
Ratchet attachment
Angle sets in fixed clicks rather than free rotation, so the arm holds position under repeated hits instead of creeping down.

GibraltarCymbal Long Boom Ratchet Attachment
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A long boom arm with a ratcheting joint, for hanging a cymbal off an existing stand or rack rather than adding another stand.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Reaching a cymbal over a crowded kit without a floor stand
- Adding a splash or stack above existing hardware
- Small stages where floor space for stands is short
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without a stand or rack to mount it on
- Heavy rides that need a dedicated base
- Players who move the cymbal position constantly mid-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.
Detail 02
Long boom
Extra reach lets you place a cymbal well away from its mounting point — useful over toms or behind the hi-hat.
Detail 03
Attaches to existing hardware
You are adding a cymbal position, not a stand. One less tripod base on the floor.
Detail 04
Fixed-click angle steps
You get repeatable setup night to night, but you cannot fine-tune between clicks.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No cymbal, felts, or wing nut assumed — check what your arm end includes
- 02Confirm your stand or rack tube diameter matches the clamp
- 03Long reach adds leverage; a light stand base may want counterweighting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does it mount to?
An existing cymbal stand tube or a drum rack bar. Match your tube diameter to the clamp before buying.
02Will a long arm tip my stand over?
It can. The further out the cymbal sits, the more the base is loaded on one side — use a heavy stand or a rack.
03Why a ratchet instead of a normal tilter?
A ratchet locks into set positions, so the angle stays put under playing. A friction tilter can slip and drop over a set.
04Can I hang a ride on it?
It is better suited to lighter cymbals — crashes, splashes, stacks. A heavy ride is a lot of weight at the end of a long arm.
