Does the job I bought it for, April 4, 2006
This review is from: Gibraltar SC-GCA Grabber Cymbal Arm (Electronics)
I bought this grabber arm along with several other items so that I could have a stand for additional cymbals.
- Gibraltar Grabber Cymbal Arm
- Pacific Drums by DW P/D 700 Boom Cymbal Stand
- Gibraltar Mini Cymbal Stacker, 6 Inches
- Wuhan WUSP0810 Traditional & Rock Splash Cymbal Pack
I am using the new PD boom stand for my Zildian crash cymbal (that I bought previously). I stuck this grabber arm on the boom stand. I put the mini cymbal stacker on the grabber arm. And, I put the 2 splash cymbals on this combo, 10" on bottom, 8" on top. I've put my China cymbal on the other cymbal stand (which came with the drum set) that I had been using my crash cymbal on.
The entire rig is stable, particularly when I put the grabber arm over one of the boom stand tripod legs. The grabber arm is easy to adjust and locks tight. It projects the 2 splash cymbals out nicely within reach. I leave the arm and the stacker on the boom stand when I pack this up. You can remove both splash cymbals without dismantling the stacker.
Overall, this combination cost me just under $100 including S&H from Musician's Friend through Amazon. It was the least expensive option I could find, short of buying this equipment used.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Gibraltar SC-GCA Grabber Cymbal Arm (Electronics)
I went looking for a way to mount my smaller cymbals from my boom stands, and this was the most popular result among them all. I guess for a good reason, ya know? I bought this arm, and have been using it since for about 2 years so far. The sturdiness of it impressed me, as it never slipped down the stand, nor did it weight too much. I tried other cymbal arms besides this one, and many of them tend to be heavy (for their flimsier thickness), and make the stand shaky when I whack the cymbal. It looks great, and is definitely one of the best gibraltar buys out there. And heck, bought it for $30 at some 5-star seller, but amazon/musician's friend has it for $21. For this price, I'd say this cymbal arm is easily the best value, and you'll get more bang for your buck here than with a number of other brands.
