William Goldmith appears to have a black disc-shaped item hanging from a cymbal stand. Just wondered what it was. I've seen nothing like it before.

it looks like the base of a microphone stand. i don't know why it would be there unless it's used as a weight to keep the cymbal stand from falling over.

I agree, definitely the base of a mic stand. I also agree it's probably there to keep is rack tom balanced flying off its stand. That looks like a big tom. I get that sometimes with my 13" but I've got a cymbal on the same stand that works to balance it out.
 
Mic stand base for sure. Maybe he should mic it up and see how it sounds

I've seen people use them as sort of a bell.....like how some percussionists use car break drums
