TAMA Cymbal Attachment

I've used these cymbal clamps for years, back when they we're 6mm posts with geared tilters and I still have them. And unlike most stuff this series has only gotten better, with the toothless tilter, 8mm posts and the lighter weight clamp along with the quick release. For the most part they have stayed the same in design and I'm glad they have. My only gripe is the price, for less than $20 I could buy a stand. The same exact model used to be around $45 but I'll let it slide, these clamps have been nothing but good to me and the price of everything has gone up recently.

Great adjustability. The fast clamp works great, but I wish it was chrome. Also would like to see the swivel into the clamp with a solid face on both sides.

Attaches to almost any quality cymbal stand. Fantastic adjustment options for cymbal tilt, angle, boom length, and height position. Plus it comes with a TAMA Cymbal Mate so setup/breakdown is super quick. Easily holds up to an 18" cymbal with no stability issues as long as the main stand it's connected to is decent.

In a nutshell, this unit is quick, smooth, versatile and has fairly universal adjustment. I've been able to pare my cymbal stands down to two by utilizing this item. (As long as you stay counter-balanced, you can mount any size cymbal on these.) I also have got one attached to my tom mount riser. Granted, my cymbal stands now look like chrome Christmas trees but I may be bragging here rather than complaining. (It really ain't a bad look.) The cloths pin clamp works great and the arm mount is removable allowing to the clamp to be flipped depending on your mounting/positioning needs. Also, the currently sold unit utilizes Tama's push-button cymbal retainer - a great piece of thinking unmatched by any other manufacturer. Unless you're devoted to the look of chrome wing nuts, this innovation is a must have for the working drummer. The toothless tilter is most excellent as well. It all adds up to this being a superior and highly useful product.

definitely a reliable buy. i've had this for about a year now and it hasn't moved one bit from it's position on my straight cymbal stand. at first, i only used it to hold my mini-china, but then i figured i'd put my 20" ride cymbal and the china on top of it. i sense no sign of breakage or any wear for that matter, so if you're looking for something that can carry its weight around, this is the guy!

I bought this attachment for my 10" Sabian Hand Hammered Splash and it works great. You can put it in about any position you want, and it's also easy to maneuver. If you're going to put a heavier cymbal on it, like others have said, be careful not to tilt your whole stand over from all the weight. Even though I only have a little splash on it at the moment, I have this clamped to my double tom stand between my two bass drums since that's where I like my splash to be (over and between the two rack toms) but if I were to put a heavier cymbal there it won't fall since it's on the tom stand, which is obviously heavier. Overall I like this thing a lot, Tama makes the best hardware. All my hardware and drums are Tama.
