Overview
The Gibraltar GOMBS Overhead Microphone Boom Stand is a professional-grade support solution engineered specifically for drummers and recording engineers. Designed to blend seamlessly with chrome drum hardware, this stand combines a lightweight profile with an extra-stable tripod base to ensure your microphones remain secure and precisely positioned during high-energy performances or critical studio sessions.
Key Details
- Robust Construction: Built with 5/8″ to 3/4″ diameter tubes and a chrome finish to match standard cymbal stands.
- Extensive Reach: Features a two-tier telescoping boom arm providing up to a 60-inch reach for optimal overhead placement.
- Flexible Height: Vertical height is adjustable from 36″ to 56″ via a hinged adjustment system.
- Enhanced Stability: Includes a detachable 2.2 lb balance weight that fits onto the end of the boom arm to prevent tipping.
- Precision Hardware: Equipped with a standard American mic post (5/8″-27 thread) and nylon bushing dampening at all adjustable points to reduce vibration.

Use Cases
- Drum Overheads: Perfect for positioning condenser microphones over a drum kit to capture a balanced stereo image of cymbals and shells.
- Studio Recording: Ideal for capturing acoustic instruments or piano where a long reach is required to keep the stand footprint away from the performer.
- Live Sound Reinforcement: A reliable choice for stage use where the chrome aesthetic matches the rest of the percussion hardware.
Installation
The GOMBS is designed for quick deployment. Simply expand the tripod base for maximum stability and adjust the vertical height using the hinged locking mechanism. Extend the two-tier telescoping boom arm to your desired length and slide the 2.2 lb counterweight onto the rear of the arm to balance the weight of your microphone. The standard 5/8″-27 thread allows for the immediate attachment of most professional microphone clips.
