Detail 01
Short, not a boom
Reach is limited, so the cymbal ends up near the mounting point. The host stand does most of the positioning.

TAMAShort Cymbal Arm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A short arm for hanging an extra cymbal off hardware you already own. For crowded kits where another tripod will not fit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a splash or stack near an existing crash or tom mount
- Small stages where there is no floor left for a stand
- Rack setups needing a short reach straight off the bar
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without a stand, rack or mount to attach it to
- Reaching across the kit — a boom arm travels further
- Main ride duty, where an independent stand holds position better
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
Arm only, no base
There is no tripod underneath. It has to go into a clamp, a tom mount or a rack fitting.
Detail 03
Weight sits at the end
Leverage multiplies load on whatever holds it. Splashes and thin crashes stay put; heavy cymbals pull the mount down.
Detail 04
Built around TAMA hardware sizes
Fits TAMA tubes and fittings most predictably. Cross-brand mounting often works but is worth checking before a gig.
Detail 05
No added footprint
You gain a cymbal position without a new tripod, so stage floor space and teardown time stay the same.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You supply the clamp or open mount — the arm cannot stand alone
- 02Confirm you have the cymbal sleeve and felts you need on hand
- 03Measure the host tube so the clamp jaw closes fully around it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need a stand for this?
Yes. It mounts into something — a multi-clamp, a tom holder or a rack fitting. On its own it has nothing to stand on.
02Can it hold a ride cymbal?
A short arm off a clamp is best kept to lighter cymbals. Heavy rides put steady leverage on the mount and tend to drift down over a set.
03Will it fit a non-TAMA stand?
Often, but check first. Measure the tube diameter where it will clamp and confirm the jaw closes around it fully.
04Short arm or boom arm?
A boom reaches over the kit and places a cymbal anywhere. This one keeps the cymbal close to the mount, which is what you want in tight setups.
