DW 5791 Combination Tom and Boom Cymbal Stand
The 5791 is a dual-purpose stand: it holds a tom and a cymbal at the same time. The tom arm comes out in front on a ball joint; the boom goes out the back, mounted with its tube and ratchet on an auxiliary clamp. Two parts of the kit thus stand on a single base.
What sets it apart
- Ball-joint tom arm, 1/2 in diameter
- Complete boom assembly, with tube and ratchet, on a rear auxiliary clamp
- Infinite Tilter with adjustable cymbal seat
- Two parts of the kit on a single base
- Heavy-duty construction, designed for the combined load
- Independent adjustment of tom and cymbal
Two parts, one base on the floor
On a kit with offset suspended toms — a bass drum without a mount, a jazz configuration or a wide setup — every tom needs its own stand, and every cymbal too. The floor fills up with overlapping triangles.
Putting a tom and a cymbal on the same structure cuts that number in half. Setup gets faster, the hardware case gets lighter, and the drummer keeps their legs free.
The ball joint, and why it beats teeth
A suspended tom is adjusted in three dimensions: height, front-to-back tilt and rotation. A ratchet arm only gives set positions, and the angle you want almost always falls between two.
The ball joint lets the drum sit exactly where your hand wants it, then locks in that position. On a tom you hit near the edge, that precise angle makes a direct difference to wrist comfort.
The rear clamp, the cymbal and the balance
The boom leaves from the back of the stand, opposite the tom arm. That is no accident: the two loads counterbalance each other instead of adding up on the same side.
You still need to set it up in order — base aimed first, then the tom, then the cymbal last — and check that a leg sits under the most heavily loaded point. With that precaution, the stand handles both parts without flinching.

Frequently asked questions
- What tom mount size does this arm fit?
- The arm is 1/2 in, the most common diameter on today's tom holders. Check the mount fitted on the drum.
- Is a tom and cymbal stand stable with both loads?
- Yes, as long as a leg is aimed under the heavier part. The tom and the cymbal are deliberately placed on opposite sides.
- Can I use just the tom arm?
- Yes. The boom comes out of its rear clamp if you do not need it.
- Does the cymbal adjust independently of the tom?
- Yes, the two mounts are separate and do not move each other.
