Yamaha CH8 cymbal holder with boom

Product Description

The CH8 is a cymbal holder with a standard-length boom arm that mounts on double tom stands and tom holders. It is equipped with Yamaha's patent-pending Quick Release Nut, the new Sound Enhanced Cymbal Washer and a step-free tilter. The boom tilter has been redesigned for improved memory accuracy and increased holding power.

• Quick Release Nut (QRN8) attaches and detaches with a pinch
• Sound Enhanced Cymbal Washer (SECW8) for more sustain and low end
• Step-free tilter
• Redesigned boom tilter with improved memory accuracy and increased holding power
• Boom arm stores inside the pipe for straight use
• Refined wing nuts

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.

Boom tilter and clamp

The boom tilter has been redesigned for improved memory accuracy and increased holding power, and the step-free tilter lets you set the cymbal angle exactly. The clamp base holds without overtightening. The boom arm can be stored inside the upper pipe, so the stand can also be used as a straight stand. This makes it more compact to carry.

Who It's For

For players who already have a double tom stand or tom holder and want to hang a cymbal there, with the same quick release nut and washer as the new stands. The CH8 replaces the CH755 in Yamaha's line-up.
