Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The extended-base version of Yamaha's tom ball clamp with long hex rod. Choose it when you need more mounting surface or clearance than the standard base gives.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Hanging a tom off a rack tube with more clamp contact
  • Setups where the standard base sits too close to other hardware
  • Rebuilding a Yamaha kit's tom mounting with room to spare

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone whose standard-base clamp already fits fine
  • Non-Yamaha tom hardware with different rod sizes
  • Floor toms and other drums that stand on their own legs

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Yamaha CL-940LBW Tom Drum Ball Clamp with Long Hex Rod and Extended Base construction detail

Detail 01

Extended base

More clamping surface against the post, which helps on larger tubes and spreads the load of a heavier tom.

Detail 02

Ball clamp joint

Angle adjusts freely in any direction from a single point rather than in fixed notches.

Detail 03

Long hex rod

The hex shape keeps the tom from twisting in its receiver once you lock it down.

Detail 04

Rod length

Pushes the tom further from the mounting point, giving clearance when cymbals or stands crowd the space.

Detail 05

Price over the standard CL-940BW

You are paying for the extended base. If clearance is not a problem, the standard version does the same job.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Clamp and rod only. No drum, stand, or rack included.
  2. 02Measure your rack tube and tom receiver before ordering
  3. 03One clamp per tom. A two-up setup needs two.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01What does the extended base actually do?

It gives the clamp a longer contact area against the post it mounts to, which helps with grip and with clearing nearby hardware.

02Is this worth it over the CL-940BW?

Only if you need the extra base length for clearance or clamping surface. Otherwise the standard version mounts the same tom.

03Does it include the tom arm?

It is the ball clamp and long hex rod. You supply the drum and the stand or rack it mounts to.

04Will this work on my non-Yamaha rack?

It is designed around Yamaha hardware dimensions. Check the tube diameter it needs to clamp and your tom's receiver size first.
