TAMA ZCYEL Z-ROD

Z-rod for mounting lightweight cymbals

Enhance your drum setup with the TAMA ZCYEL Long Z-Rod for Cymbals -  a versatile and space-saving solution for mounting lightweight splash cymbals or other small percussion accessories. Designed to work with the TAMA MC8 Hoop Grip, the ZCYEL clamps seamlessly onto your drum hoop, allowing you to add cymbals without using a full stand. It includes felts and a QC8 Quick-Set Cymbal Mate for fast, secure mounting and removal. The long rod design gives you extra reach and flexibility in positioning, so you can place the splash or cymbal exactly where you want it. Perfect for drummers who want to streamline their setup, reduce floor clutter, and add creative cymbal placement options without sacrificing stability or ease of use.

Here are the key details:

• Model: ZCYEL (“long” version) - there’s also ZCYE (shorter one) etc.
• Use: Mounting lightweight cymbals (splashes etc.) using a Z-Rod that attaches via a Hoop Grip (specifically the MC8 Hoop Grip) on the rim of a drum. So instead of using a full cymbal stand, you clamp this near the hoop of a tom or floor tom, then attach the Z-Rod which holds the cymbal.
• Included components: Comes with felt washers and a QC8 Quick-Set Cymbal Mate (the fast on/off “wing nut alternative”) for mounting the cymbal.
• Long version: The “long” version gives more reach/clearance so you can position the cymbal further / more flexibly.
• Material / build: Chrome-plated rod; hardware matches TAMA’s Hoop Grip clamp system. The rod is fairly rigid and built to stay stable while playing.
