Description
Overview
The Gibraltar Dunnett Short Cymbal Boom Brake Tilter (Model SC-SBBT) is a professional-grade hardware solution designed for drummers who require absolute stability and precision in their cymbal positioning. Engineered for heavy-duty use, this tilter eliminates the common issue of “cymbal creep,” ensuring your crashes and rides stay exactly where you set them, even during the most aggressive performances.
Key Details
- Robust Construction: Features a 7/8″ diameter tube for maximum structural integrity and stability.
- Precision Boom Rod: Equipped with a 12.7mm boom rod designed to handle the weight of large cymbals without flexing.
- Integrated Memory Lock: Includes a hinged memory lock, allowing you to save your preferred height and angle for rapid, consistent setup between gigs.
- Optimized Dimensions: Designed with a 10″ down tube length and a 12″ overall reach to provide a compact yet effective boom profile.
Use Cases
This brake tilter is ideal for touring professionals and studio drummers who need a reliable, “set-and-forget” hardware system. It is particularly useful for:
- Heavy Hitters: Drummers who play with high velocity and need a brake system that prevents the cymbal from tilting downward over time.
- Complex Setups: Percussionists using multiple cymbals in tight spaces who require the precision of a short boom to avoid interference with other hardware.
- Rapid Stage Transitions: Musicians who frequently move between venues and rely on the hinged memory lock for instant positioning.
Installation
Installation is straightforward and requires no specialized tools. Simply slide the 7/8″ down tube onto your compatible cymbal stand. Once seated, tighten the locking mechanism to secure the tilter to the stand. Use the hinged memory lock to mark your desired height, and adjust the brake tilter to your preferred cymbal angle, tightening the brake to lock the position in place.
Compatibility
This tilter is designed for use with drum hardware featuring a 7/8″ diameter mounting tube. Please verify your existing stand specifications to ensure a proper fit. It is compatible with standard cymbal felts and wing nuts used across most major cymbal brands.
