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.

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.

a cheaper alternative to a boom stand, it feels very sturdy and secure. I've got a 18" medium crash on it and so far so good. The adjustable clamp means you can join it to just about every type of stand.

This little grabber arm has been holding a 22 inch ride up for about 3 weeks straight now. It hasn't budged so much as a millimeter. Very solid piece of hardware. Very fast shipping. Arrived at my home in California within 3 days of being shipped from Missouri. I would and probably will buy this again.

Price was seemed a bit high for me, but i bought it anyway and it made a great mount for my china 18inch, very sturdy

This is a solid extension! It's very flexible and very sturdy and easy to work with. Well worth the money.

Its a high quality stand that was absolutely perfect for what i needed... mounting my splash. the only problem is that the stand I mounted the grabber on is crappy and wobbles a little bit when I stike either of the cymbals, but I'm alright with that.

Being honest I didnt expect much from this grabbers they aren't the priciest or look that good but they hold pretty good, I have only had them for 3 days but I put a 16 inch heavy crash on them and they hold on perfectly no vibrating or anything. Great grabbers for a pretty decent price. Also they came in about 2 days to my house so that was really fast but that depends on who your buying it from.

This cymbal arm has beeen amazing! This, not expensive at all, arm is one of the best decisions I've made! I can put it anywhere on my kit, in any position! Of course you wouldn't keep a crash or ride on it. I have kept my splashes and 14" china of it and I have NEVER had a problem with it. I love this thing and I definetly will purchase another one!

I love this cymbal arm, it holds up really well and doesnt move after its tightened, i highly recommend this!!
