I want to add a counterweight to one of my Mapex cymbal stands (with boom) that can be merely added to the end of the boom to keep the stand from falling over. The stand is to be placed directly in front of the the bass drum. I know that the boom should be ordinarily placed parallel to one of the legs of the stand, but this means that I would have to grow longer arms to reach the ride cymbal.
Is there a universal-fit counterweight that could be epoxied to the end of the boom, and that doesn't involve having to buy an entirely new boom and/or putting threads on the end of the boom? Or....if all else fails, is there a cheap way to jury-rig a heavy material such as a fishing weight, etc.?
Thanks,
Barry
