Abstract
Abstract A cymbal holder assembly including a holder base adapted to hold a cymbal, a mounting base adapted for mounting on a cymbal stand, a screw and a wing nut fastened together to fix the holder base and the mounting base together, and a constraint device mounted around the screw and retained between the holder base and the mounting base to prohibit the holder base and the mounting base from a relative rotary motion, the constraint device being released for permitting the holder base to be turned relative to the mounting base to adjust the angular position of the cymbal on the holder base when the wing nut is loosened.
