As the name suggests, cymbal stands are used solely for the holding of cymbals at a position, height and angle desired by the drummer. There are several different types of cymbal stand
Straight stand
As the name suggests, this is a vertical stand with adjustability for height and cymbal angle. The cymbal is always directly above the base
Boom Stand
A boom stand provides height and angle adjustability but also allows for the cymbal to be suspended at a distance from the base as if on top of a crane. This type of stand is most popular in that it provides maximum flexibility for the drummer to incorporate the cymbals within their setup.
Boom Arm
This is a boom stand without a base, This is attached to an existing stand or bass drum using a [clamp]. This saves the drummer from carrying bases for each stand that makes setting up a drumset more rapid and easier . These boom arms also often have 'memory locks', small adjustable rings that ensure a stand can be placed in the same position every time the drumset is set up.
Cymbal Stacker
This is a small fitting that fits on top of another stand allowing several cymbals to be stacked one on top of the other, this saves space and set up time however each cymbal apart from the upper one can only be accessed at the edge.
