Roland MDY-STG Cymbal Mount for MDS Drum Stands

The Roland MDY-STG is a purpose-built cymbal expansion mount for the MDS-25 and MDS-50KV drum stand systems, designed to add V-Cymbal positions to an existing V-Drums rack without requiring a full stand replacement. The core mechanical feature is the flexible ball-clamp tilter: unlike fixed-angle cymbal arms, the ball joint allows you to set both the tilt and rotation of the cymbal pad independently before locking it down — the same ergonomic flexibility you'd expect when positioning an acoustic ride or crash. The boom arm extends the mounting position laterally from the stand tube, giving you reach for positions that a straight mount physically can't achieve in a dense rack configuration. Both boom and straight mounting modes are supported from the same hardware, which makes the MDY-STG adaptable as your kit layout evolves.

Built from alloy steel in Roland's standard silver hardware finish, the MDY-STG matches the MDS-series rack aesthetic and carries the mechanical durability required for a component that absorbs cymbal strike vibration continuously through a session or live performance. The clamp interface is designed specifically for MDS-series tube diameters, so installation is a direct fit without shims or adapters. The cymbal pad interface accepts all V-Cymbal pads in Roland's lineup — CY-series and beyond — via the standard Roland cymbal arm connection. For drummers who want to add a second crash, a stack, or a dedicated hi-hat to an MDS-based kit, the MDY-STG is the clean, first-party solution that keeps the setup fully within Roland's hardware ecosystem.
