DW SM934S Short Cymbal Boom Arm and 3/4 in × 9 in Tube Set
The SM934S brings together two specific parts: the short 9 in cymbal boom arm with a 1/2 in knurled rod, and the SP34S 3/4 in × 9 in tube with its tilter. The set is designed to fit a V-clamp or an accessory clamp on one of the brand's tom stands.
What sets it apart
- 3/4 in × 9 in tube with boom tilter
- Short 9 in boom arm, 1/2 in knurled rod
- Designed for V-clamps and tom stand accessory clamps
- Twice nine inches: height without excess leverage
- The knurling keeps the rod from turning in its receiver
- Factory-matched set, nothing to match yourself
A cymbal station that takes up no room
The tom stand already carries a drum, often a free clamp, and rarely stands in the middle of empty space. Adding a long tube to it is like planting an antenna in the middle of the setup: you gain a cymbal and lose your way through.
Nine inches of tube and nine inches of arm make a discreet station, set just above the tom, exactly where a splash or a small crash is most useful. It is an addition, not a rebuild.
Why factory matching matters here
Buying a tube from one place and an arm from another works, provided the diameters, the tilter and the usable length go together. On short sections, the margin for error is small: a few centimetres too many and the rod no longer engages far enough in the receiver.
Here, the two parts are matched from the start. The arm's engagement in the tilter is the intended one, and the load is distributed as it should be.
Two adjustments, short but real
Two joints remain despite the size: the tube's tilter, which tilts the whole assembly, and the arm's clamping, which decides how far it extends. You therefore keep two degrees of freedom to put the cymbal in the right place.
On a compact setup, that is often enough, because the target is close: the aim is not to reach a distant point but to clear a drum by 10 cm.

Frequently asked questions
- How is it different from the 18 in set?
- The length of both sections. This one stays short on the tube as well as on the arm: it serves nearby add-ons, while the other serves height and reach.
- Will it fit another brand's tom stand?
- The manufacturer specifies it for its own V-clamps and accessory clamps. Elsewhere, the question is the receiver: it has to accept a 3/4 in tube.
- Can it be mounted on a rack bar?
- Yes, by way of a rack clamp that accepts 3/4 in. The short tube then gives a low station, useful for an effects cymbal.
- Does the arm come off the tube?
- Yes. The arm slides out of the tilter like any boom arm, so you can replace it with a longer model if your needs change.
