I have the SC-GCABT Boom arm ( 2:50 ) connected to my cymbal stand. I can say that it is a well built accessory, holds up my 18" China cymbal. This is a recommendation to all who are looking to lighten their hardware load, get this arm!
I've been using two of them to mount two bell cymbals for the last 15 years from one cymbal stand. Never had a single problem with either arm, and I'd recommend them to anybody.
I really love watching Brent's Hang. Honestly, it's one of my favorite things to watch on RU-vid. It's super helpful. I've learned so many things and gotten some cool tips as well! I love gibraltar! :D
I've been using a cymbal mount for my ride (I play one up, one down) attached to my tom holder on the bass drum, for almost a year or so and will only ever need two cymbal stands and that cymbal mount! In the case I should ever up size the amount of drums I have I have double or triple the amount of cymbals on the kit as well. Good one, Gibraltar!
GibraltarDIY Hi guys! Please please make a video explaining how to measure hardware tubes! When I'm going to buy your products I get confused when I read things like 7/8", 10' tubes, 7" etc etc etc.
Hi friend, i like to know if you have some model of cymbal holder to put in bass drum, like old drummers as Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Sidney Catlett, and Baby Dodds used. Thank you.
dude... gibraltar is awesome, I love the drum racks, but I don´t have space in my room, so, I use cymbal stands and booms etc, but I don like how that see on the floor, a lot of pieces there... when I use my first gibraltar boom arm... WOW those are awesome, exellent :D (sorry if my english is wrong, I still learning jeje)
hey been drumming for 15 years ran into a lot of fund issues in my youth and found gibraltars grabber arms. i recently switched to a rack and kept the arms, i currently at 7 cymbals dont have use for all 4 of my arms. i do have about 5 more cymbals in mind im looking at. but i kept them anyway, never know when you need something or need to replace a damaged product. that being said my oldest arm is at least 10 years old??? and still works fine. fell in love with gibraltars hardware.
I would say that for my ride cymbal situation (which is fine, I only get minor headaches with the positioning) I'd need about 11 to 13 inches of give (or play) if the ride cymbal is 22", more so if it's a 24". Correct me if my math is wrong, but if a 22" ride cymbal is placed in a big band (ie. one up and one/two down) style/fashion there would have to be at least be half of that to work, so, at least, 11 inches of room so that the ride cymbal doesn't clash with other pieces of hardware
and i know adding clamps to the center poles of a stand act like tree branches, so the force is directed down through the 'trunk' and through the tripod or 'roots' but how do those boom to boom clamps work out in the way of the stand wobbling around? i mean, on double braced hardware it shouldnt be a big deal, but single braced i can see those things flying in all directions from the force generated by hitting a cymbal, maybe not a splash, but that 16" crash could make for a hell of a wobble..
i will shake, yes. decrease that by adding another leg to, im guessing your C-wing. but if you look at some big name bands playing live (especially) youll see them toms and cymbals bouncing around but staying secure. check all you wing nuts make sure everything is tight first and fore most.
Hi, I have a GCBR which I'm using on the right side of my kit, mounting a 20" ride, 2 crashes (16" and 18"), 13" hi-hat, 18" china and 2 floor toms (14" and 16"). My question is, is it normal that when I hit the china the whole rack vibrates / trembles?
great videos dood! i was wondering how you would go about setting up 4 cymbals (1 ride, 2 crash, and 1 china) using a GSSMS rack on the right side of a kit?
I am wanting to do a China/crash cymbal stack. I need to help because I don’t know what kind of cymbal stand or boom arm to use. I don’t want to use the boom arm that attaches on top of the cymbal
Ok I have a Roland TD50K E Kit. I wanna take my Kick Bass Drum 🥁 And place above like Hi over my Floor Tom How do I do it? Something like a Tall Snare Stand or what you may call it.
But I like to give enough room for the edge of the ride and the tom tom itself, about say an inch or so of space. So, all in all, the arm should be around 12 to 14 inches, in and of itself, from the one end to just where the gear/gearless tilter begins, instead of having it one general size but actually decreasing the length. Just my opinion on the matter, because I think it saves money and weight on the back carrying all that hardware. I'm actually thinking of making the switch lighter cymbal..
A question though: Why not make the 12" or 18" models go from one end to the point of the cymbal tilter? I believe it would be a benefit for more play around. I don't have my cymbal mount on me but I reckon I'd lose about 1 to 2 inches from either models shown in this video. Any word on that?
SC-CLBAC = Single-Clamp - Cymbal-Large-Boom-Arm-Clamp or something? Who comes up with those weird product names , something like "Type A cymbal boom" would have sufficed I'd say xD
i have a boom arm that i usually put a 14in on or smaller, and im not sure what's wrong with it but whenever i hit the cymbal on it it, falls? Like the angle of the boom arm rotates a few degrees every time until i can't even hit the cymbal. help!
I`m fine with everything but Hihat stand looks not so stable. I guess its fine for that kind of play, but i dont think its good for anything more that that. I would love to see that HI hat in "stronger" performance. Tnx for video!
+Zach DeWitt I would recommend not doing that. Yes Gibraltar has some of the best hardware, but your hi-hat stand is probably going to fall over from the weight of the ride cymbal.
Jayson Jose it all depends on the placement of your chimes in relation to where you need the splash. Without knowing your set up, I think the SC-CLBAC or SC-GCA would work.
GibraltarDIY I play cajon, place my chimes always in front of me, ride behind it splash left. Im a commuter and it is too heavy to carry 3 stands everyday. The chimes stand is not that heavy compare to the cymbals stand. Is it possible to mount 2 cymbal on a chimes stand? Chime stand is the usual default stand. Thanks. Godbless
Jayson Jose if I understand you correctly, you are trying to mount the ride and splash to the chime stand? If so, the ride might be a bit heavy for that. You could use a cymbal stand to support the ride, and mount the splash and chimes off that. The chimes could be mounted above the ride using the SC-BCSA cymbal stacker with a boom. Then for the splash, you could use one of the other cymbal arm accessories I listed in the last comment. Hope this helps.
Dallas Cantland the Gibraltar version of the DW Dogbone, is the SC-CLBRA and SC-CMBRA. They both function the same, except the DW Dogbone has a larger distance between the geared tilters that connect to the boom arms, rods
Merrillizer sorry to hear. We have two versions of this accessory arm, SC-GCA, and SC-GCA-BT. One has the gearless tilter and the other doesn’t. If the model number you ordered does not have BT at the end, you ordered the version with gears. It is possible your dealer made a mistake. In that case please contact them and have them replace it for you
The difference in quality? Minimal when dealing with things like boom arms. DW can't really produce a "better" boom arm, but they can spend more money on marketing and the psychology of consumers. A lot like Apple.
Isnt this basic common sense? Maybe not seeing as 90 percent of musicians I know don't know a fucking thing about their equipment. Basically if the light is on, it's on.
