WingLoc
WingLoc's quick release design makes attaching and
removing cymbals quick and easy.
Reversible Seat Cup
The Seat Cup is reversible and can be set to Float, to
allow cymbals to move freely, when set in the position
shown in (Fig.5-A) or it can Lock, to prevent rattle in
recording situations, when set in the position shown in
(Fig.5-B).
Reversible Cymbal Washer
The BC-2030 stands are equipped with Reversible
Cymbal Washers with a Felt side and Foam side. With the
Foam side against the cymbal, a bright, clear sound with
long sustain is achieved. The Felt side gives a warmer and
softer sound. Mix and match the top and bottom Revers-
ible Cymbal Washers to find the sound you like best
(Fig.6).

Washer over the

To adjust, snap either
one of the wings
upward as shown in

WingLoc until the
desired tightness /
looseness of the cymbal
is achieved. Snap the

NOTE
・Do not force the wings closed. If you feel resistance, rotate
the WingLoc slightly to align the threads and try closing the
wings again.
・Do not tighten the WingLoc when both wings are in the
locked position to prevent wear to the threads.
・Keep WingLocs in the locked position when transporting to
avoid breakage or loss.

Combination Example

The Telescopic Boom Arm can be swiveled horizontally
and two or more GyroLock Tilters can be attached as
shown in (Fig.10).
Single Boom Tilter
If you wish, the BC-2030 can be converted to a boom /
cymbal stand with a single boom tilter. To make this
conversion, loosen the Key Bolt on the Counterweight and
pull the Counterweight off the Boom Shaft then remove the
Boom Shaft from the Main Boom Tilter as shown in
(Fig.11-A). Insert the Boom Shaft into the Die-Cast Joint of
the Center Tube as shown in (Fig.11-B). Set the height to
your preference and tighten the Wing Nut on the Die Cast
Joint securely.
Adding GyroLock Tilters
The BC-2030 will accept two or more GyroLock Tilters for
added versatility (Fig.9). Additional GyroLock Tilters, part
number TL-2030, can be purchased separately from an
authorized Pearl dealer.
Dual Boom Tilters
The BC-2030 features dual Boom
Tilters. The Main Tilter tilts the entire
boom section. The Second Tilter
permits the Telescopic Boom Arm
to pivot or to telescope.

A Stop Lock is provided to keep the GyroLock Tilter
secure while playing. To set the Stop Lock, loosen the Key
Bolt and slide the Stop Lock against the GyroLock clamp
with the prong of the Stop Lock fitted to the groove of the
GyroLock clamp,then tighten the Key Bolt securely
(Fig.8-A and Fig.8-B).

Nodal Point Markings
The BC-2030's Main Boom Shaft, Upper Tube, Center Tube
and Base Tube are marked in the center and at the two
Nodal Points as shown in (Fig.12). Clamping the Main Boom
Shaft, Upper Tube, Center Tube and Base Tube outside the
two Nodal Point Marks allows the cymbal to vibrate freely
(Fig.12). Clamping the Main Boom Shaft, Upper Tube,
Center Tube and Base Tube between the two Nodal Point
marks achieves a more controlled cymbal sound (Fig.12).

When making height adjustments, use one hand
to support the tube while using your other hand to
control the tension of the wing nut/wing bolt to
prevent the tube from slipping and pinching
fingers that may be in the way.
When folding the tripod legs, be careful not to
pinch your fingers between the legs and the stand.
When handling tubular hardware do not put your
fingers into the tubes to prevent injury to your
fingers.
For optimal stability, orient one leg in the same
direction as the boom.
Test the stability of the stand before using. If
necessary, readjust the length of the boom, the
direction of the boom, or weight of the load until
the stand is sufficiently stable.
