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.
70cm Long Boom Arm
At 70cm, the CBW8 gives you a substantially extended boom reach compared to a standard-length arm. This is particularly useful for positioning ride cymbals, crashes, or effects cymbals in unconventional spots around the kit, or for clearing space above a crowded setup without needing an additional stand. The extra length suits larger kits, elaborate stage setups, or any situation where standard boom positioning doesn't reach far enough.
Removable Counterbalance Weight
The removable counterbalance weight is the key feature that makes a long boom arm practical rather than a liability. Without a counterweight, an extended boom arm under a heavy cymbal will want to tip and creep, requiring constant re-tightening. The CBW8's counterweight balances that force at the opposite end of the arm, keeping the cymbal position locked and stable even during energetic playing. The weight is removable when you want to use the arm at shorter extensions or without the counterbalance.
Step-Free / Infinite Adjustment Tilter
The step-free tilter provides smooth, continuously variable cymbal angle adjustment with no ratchet steps or fixed positions to work around. Position your cymbal at exactly the angle you want and lock it in place with the wing bolt. The infinite adjustment range makes it easy to dial in precise cymbal positioning, particularly at the extended boom lengths the CBW8 is designed for.
Quick Release Nut & Resin Cymbal Washer
A Quick Release Nut is included for fast, tool-free cymbal attachment and removal. The resin cymbal washer provides a cymbal-friendly mounting surface, protecting your cymbals from metal-on-metal contact and allowing them to resonate naturally.
CS8 Series Compatibility
The CBW8 is specifically designed to pair with Yamaha CS8 series cymbal stands, including the CS8W double brace boom stand. It's part of Yamaha's 8 series hardware ecosystem, designed to the same professional-grade specification as the stands it attaches to.
