Yamaha CH8S cymbal holder with short boom

Product Description

The CH8S is the short version of the CH8 and mounts on double tom stands and tom holders. The shorter boom arm and pipe give a more compact setup. It has the same patent-pending Quick Release Nut, the same Sound Enhanced Cymbal Washer and the same step-free tilter as the CH8.

• 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.

Short boom and pipe

The boom arm is 17 cm instead of 32 cm and the height range is 43 to 55 cm, giving a more compact setup when the cymbal needs to sit close.

Who It's For

For players who want a cymbal close in, on a double tom stand or tom holder. The CH8S replaces the CH750 in Yamaha's line-up.
