Detail 01
Short arm
Less reach than a full boom, so the cymbal sits closer in and puts less leverage on the host stand.

GibraltarShort Cymbal Boom Arm with Brake Tilter
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A short cymbal boom arm with a brake tilter, for adding or repositioning a cymbal on hardware you already own.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a splash or stack over an existing stand
- Drummers tightening up a crowded kit footprint
- Replacing a worn or seized boom arm on current hardware
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a complete cymbal stand with base and legs
- Long reach across the kit — this arm is short
- Heavy rides hung far out at full extension
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
Brake tilter
Toothed tilter locks the cymbal angle mechanically instead of relying on friction, so the angle holds under hard playing.
Detail 03
Boom arm only
This is an add-on component. It clamps to hardware you supply rather than standing on its own.
Detail 04
Gibraltar hardware
Standard drum hardware sizing, so it is meant to work with common stands rather than one proprietary system.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand, base, or legs included — you supply the hardware it mounts to
- 02Check your stand tube diameter against the arm's clamp before ordering
- 03A cymbal felt, sleeve and wing nut may need to come from your spares
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with a cymbal stand?
No. It is a boom arm on its own. You attach it to a stand or rack you already own.
02What does a brake tilter do?
It uses interlocking teeth to lock the cymbal tilt at a set angle, so the angle does not creep loose while you play.
03Will a short boom reach across my kit?
Not far. A short arm is meant for placing a cymbal near the stand it mounts to, not spanning the kit.
04Can I mount it on a rack?
Yes, if your rack clamp accepts the arm's tube. Check the diameter your clamps take before buying.
