Yamaha CH8 Cymbal Holder Long Boom Arm
The Yamaha CH8 is a long boom arm cymbal holder from Yamaha's 8 series system hardware range, designed for attaching to a compatible Yamaha stand or clamp to add an additional cymbal position to your setup. Built to the same professional specification as the rest of the 8 series, it features a step-free tilter, QRN8 Quick Release Nut, Hide-Away boom arm, and a dual-material cymbal washer — a well-specified holder for stage and studio use. Available from Into Music, one of the UK's leading independent drum retailers and an authorised Yamaha dealer. Call us on 01507 526517 or order online with UK next day delivery available.
System Hardware Cymbal Holder
The CH8 is designed as part of Yamaha's system hardware range, meaning it attaches to a compatible stand or multi-clamp rather than having its own legs. With a boom arm length adjustable between 58cm and 85cm and a total weight of 1.9kg, it adds a flexible, professional-quality cymbal position to an existing setup without the bulk of a dedicated stand. It's particularly useful for expanding a kit with additional crash, splash, or effect cymbal positions in spaces where a full stand wouldn't fit.
Step-Free / Stepless Tilter
The step-free tilter provides smooth, continuously variable cymbal angle adjustment with no ratchet steps or fixed positions. You can set your cymbal at exactly the angle you want — finely tuned to your playing position and reach — and lock it securely in place. For a cymbal holder that may be positioned in less conventional spots around the kit, this level of precision in angle adjustment is particularly useful.
QRN8 Quick Release Nut
The QRN8 Quick Release Nut allows you to attach and detach cymbals instantly by pinching the movable part on the side — no drum key required. Fast, secure, and tool-free, it makes cymbal changes during setup or between songs straightforward.
Hide-Away Boom Arm
The Hide-Away boom arm retracts into the main pipe when not in use, reducing the holder's footprint for transport and storage. It also gives you the option to use the CH8 in a straight configuration when a boom position isn't needed, without carrying a separate straight arm.
Dual-Material Cymbal Washer & Threaded Sleeve
The enhanced cymbal washer combines a soft outer material (black) and a hard inner material (blue), allowing the cymbal to resonate naturally rather than being dampened by the mounting point. The hard inner section provides firm support while the soft outer section protects the cymbal's bell and bow. Each cymbal sleeve is threaded to prevent unwanted rattling during play.
