Cymbal Attachment Arm Meinl Chrome Steel Mount

Description

Product Overview

The Meinl Cymbal Attachment Arm is engineered for drummers who need extra cymbal placement options without sacrificing valuable floor space. Constructed from solid alloy steel and finished in a durable chrome plating, the arm offers both strength and a sleek aesthetic that matches most drum hardware. The medium‑length boom measures 11 inches from the end to the center of the tilter, providing ample reach for cymbals ranging from a 6‑inch splash to an 18‑inch crash. Included components are a boom arm, a sturdy clamp, felt pads to protect your stand, and a wing nut for quick adjustments. With a weight of just 1.53 kilograms (3.37 pounds) and compact dimensions of 11 × 1 × 5.25 inches, the arm is easy to install and transport.

Usage

Designed for both live performance and studio environments, this attachment arm excels in tight or crowded setups where a traditional cymbal stand would be impractical. Whether you are a touring professional needing to maximize stage real‑estate or a home drummer looking to add a splash cymbal to a limited‑size rug, the arm’s adjustable boom and secure clamp make positioning quick and reliable. It works with most standard cymbal stands and can be clamped onto existing hardware, allowing you to experiment with new sound combinations without re‑configuring your entire kit.

FAQ

Can this arm fit a 20‑inch crash cymbal?

While the arm is designed to comfortably support cymbals up to 18 inches, a 20‑inch crash may exceed the recommended weight capacity and could affect stability. For larger cymbals, we recommend using a dedicated stand.

Is the arm compatible with non‑Meinl drum hardware?

Yes, the clamp is universal and fits most standard cymbal stands and drum rack hardware, making it a versatile addition to any kit regardless of brand.

How do I prevent the arm from moving during a performance?

Ensure the wing nut is tightened securely after positioning the boom. The knurled surface on the arm also provides a high‑friction grip that helps keep the cymbal in place even during vigorous playing.

What maintenance is required for the chrome finish?

Simply wipe the arm with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the chrome coating.

Can I use the arm for mounting accessories other than cymbals?

The arm is optimized for cymbal mounting, but some drummers have successfully used it to hold lightweight auxiliary percussion accessories such as small tambourines or cowbells, provided the total weight does not exceed the arm’s rating.
