Counterweight for heavy cymbals

The weight at the end of the boom arm keeps the stand balanced even when a heavy cymbal hangs far out. Yamaha states the CBW8 fits the CS8W and CS7 boom cymbal stands.

A nut that releases with a pinch

The Quick Release Nut is patent pending by Yamaha. Pinch the movable part on the side of the nut and it attaches and detaches instantly, making cymbal changes quick. Once attached, turn and tighten the nut to adjust the cymbal's swing and resonance. A built-in locking mechanism holds the cymbal securely in place, and the screw is made of metal for long-lasting reliability.

A washer that gives the cymbal more sustain

The Sound Enhanced Cymbal Washer (SECW8) is a two-part washer with a soft foam rubber outer layer and a firmer silicone rubber core. The combination lets the cymbal vibrate more freely than a conventional felt washer. Yamaha's frequency analysis shows increased low-frequency output and enhanced sustain compared with felt. For even more sustain, remove the outer foam and mount the cymbal on the silicone core alone, which according to Yamaha improves both volume and sustain across the entire frequency spectrum. The new washer goes on the bottom side, with a regular felt washer on top.

Who It's For

For players running several cymbals who need extra reach, or who want to hang an extra large crash far out. Fits the CS8W and CS7. The CBW8 replaces the CSBW in Yamaha's line-up.
