Yamaha CBW8

Yamaha CBW8 – extra-long cymbal boom arm with counterweight

Yamaha CBW8 is a 70 cm cymbal boom arm with an integrated counterweight, stepless Step-Free Tilter and Quick Release Nut, designed for use with the Yamaha CS8W and CS7. It provides extended reach for cymbal positioning and is particularly useful when cymbals need to be placed far from the centre of the stand or when larger and heavier cymbals are used.

The integrated counterweight helps balance the boom arm and contributes to a more stable setup at extended reach. Combined with the Sound Enhanced Cymbal Washer and stepless angle adjustment, the CBW8 offers flexible positioning and natural cymbal movement.

Overview and features

70 cm boom arm with integrated counterweight

The 70 cm boom arm provides extended reach, making it possible to position cymbals over toms or other parts of the drum kit. The integrated counterweight helps balance the load and improves stability when the boom is extended or used with heavier cymbals.

Step-Free Tilter for stepless angle adjustment

Yamaha's Step-Free Tilter allows the cymbal angle to be adjusted freely without fixed positions. This provides plenty of flexibility and makes it easy to fine-tune cymbal placement to suit your playing style and setup.

Quick Release Nut for fast cymbal changes

The Quick Release Nut allows the cymbal to be mounted and removed quickly without threading the nut along the entire post. Once in position, it can be tightened to adjust cymbal movement, while the integrated locking mechanism keeps it securely in place.

Sound Enhanced Cymbal Washer

The Sound Enhanced Cymbal Washer uses a two-piece foam and silicone construction designed to give the cymbal freedom of movement and natural resonance. The inner silicone section can also be used on its own to alter the cymbal's response.
