The Gator 500 Series boom cymbal stand offers flexible positioning with an 18" boom arm that extends for offset placement or collapses for straight-stand use. Its two-tier tube assembly adjusts from 27.5" to 52.5" at the boom knuckle, while OMNI-TILT provides full 360-degree cymbal positioning. Spring-loaded tube clamps and integrated memory locks help restore preferred settings, and a quick-release cymbal lock speeds setup changes. Steel double-braced legs, a wide tripod base and slip-resistant rubber feet provide dependable support, while rounded rubber washers and an integrated cymbal sleeve reduce metal-to-metal contact at the cymbal mount.
