Tama MC9 Hoop Grip

Acheté 29€ le 17/07/2021. Utilisé pour ajouter une cymbale à ma grosse caisse de brass band new orleans (dessous de charley monté à l'envers). C'est super robuste et la cymbale ne balance pas en marchant.
J'ai simplement ajouté le Cymbal Stacker SC-MCSA6 6" de Gibraltar (article 290643 à 9,50€) et j'ai remplacé sa vis papillon par le papillon freiné Tama QC8 Quick-Set Cymbal Mate (article 242912 à 4,90€) pour éviter qu'il se dévisse en jouant.
Le tout m'a coûté 43,40€ (bien plus stable, plus robuste et beaucoup moins cher que le Lefima 136 Cymbal Holder à 79€)

Pour info, c'est la même fixation que celle du support de cloche CBH50 ou de l'attache de pied de charleston MHA823 mais seule.

AVANTAGES :
Construction robuste
Fixation très stable
Serrage de la pince qui ne force pas comme sur beaucoup d'autres
Vis de serrage de la barre réversible (pour une barre de support à droite ou à gauche)
Montage de la barre horizontal ou vertical (très pratique et non mis en avant par Tama)
Conseillé pour une barre de diamètre 9 à 10,5mm (mais le trou de passage fait 12,2mm donc on peut au moins aller jusqu'à 11,5mm)

INCONVENIENTS :
Transmet un peu les vibrations à la grosse caisse

I bought this bass-drum hoop clamp because Tama quality is legendary.
And a little pricey, but most other hoop clamps will destroy your precious wood hoops.

It will carry 2 cowbells on a Meinl Z-rod.

There will undoubtedly be more solutions of hoop-protectve clamps, but knowing Tama top quality, I decided for this.
Because I can be confident the rubber on this thing is from top quality as well, and won't tear off for a very long time, even under heavy usage.

It can vary the positioning of the rod, you can even use the clamp upside down if that would fix a placement issue.
It will clamp on anything else that's doesn't exceed the thickness of a BD hoop and it will never come off unwanted.

Like all of Tama's hoop clamps, it has enough strenght to pinch even metal hoops, so don't overtighten it.
The quality and musician centered ingeniousity of Tama hardware sets forth it's tradition with this item, and that's nuff said.

One thing to notice: mounted with a big tumba cowbell on a wood hoop of my 18” bassdrum, it does send vibes through the whole kettle.
It’s a monstrously big and heavy cowbell, and mounted on this clamp I can even feel it in my bassdrum pedal, which has no further consequences for the total sound.
Imagine when it had no rubber to damp vibrations, then everything would be worse.
I have to add that the bass drum is attached to a rack system, and everything is very tight. I suspect the rack ampifies the vibrations.
It’s not a problem live but it’s something to hold in account when recording.

Mounting a second smaller cowbell on the same rod above the first cowbell amplifies those vibrations with a big factor.
Suddenly the buzz of the vibration is slightly audible and that’s not good.

That’s probably why no one plays with 2 cowbells on the same rod mounted on the bass drum, but I already found another spot nearby for that 2nd cowbell.
