DW Drum Workshop SM2031 ANGLE-ADJUSTABLE CYMBAL ARM

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

This type of additional mount belongs to the family of hardware accessories designed to densify a setup without multiplying stands. It is positioned as a practical solution to add a cymbal (splash, effect, light crash) directly on an existing arm, while maintaining precise adjustments and secure fixation.

Who This Drum/Hardware Is For

This mount is aimed at beginner, intermediate, and advanced drummers who want to optimize the footprint of their setup. Ideal for versatile configurations (pop, rock, funk, worship, variety), it also suits effect-oriented setups very well, where you want to place an additional cymbal close to the toms or above the hi-hat.

Features and Innovations

Designed for use on a half cymbal boom arm, this mount allows quick addition of a cymbal without altering the overall balance of the stand. The continuous adjustment of felt spacing helps to control pressure on the cymbal, a key point to preserve sustain and avoid unnecessarily restricting vibration. The adjustable tilt facilitates precise positioning, while the TechLock security provides peace of mind on stage and in rehearsal.

Sound Characteristics

As a mounting accessory, this support does not add a "sound" per se, but it directly influences how the cymbal expresses itself. A well-adjusted felt spacing preserves a more natural vibration, with a more open sustain, while tighter clamping provides a more controlled response, useful for certain effects or to limit unwanted resonances. The angle adjustment impacts playing comfort and dynamics, helping to achieve a clean attack without forcing.
