Ideal for damping or modifying your cymbal sound

Johan SpinOff 28.12.2019

I bought this set one and a half year ago when I acquired a set of 18" rather loud crashes. My first worry about those was the loudness in a rehearsal space.

In the beginning I used the larger pads just to dampen the volume of the cymbals. Then I found that it doesn't just dampen the sound but also modifies it. It takes out the harshness first.

Pros: Can be used either to completely dampen the cymbals (larger pads) or only to reduce the harshness (smaller pads).

Cons: Couldn't really find any ...

Really do make a difference

Jonathan2293 06.12.2016

If you are anything like me you might be thinking - do these things really make a difference? They are just posh cymbal felts aren't they.

But trust me they do. I do some studio work and 'pit' work where I have to be a little quieter than I would like to be and the cympad moderators work a treat. I use them on everything and they really do take some of the ring and the top end frequencies out of your cymbals. They will still sound like your cymbals but they will reach their sound sweet spot much faster and decay much faster.

If you are looking to take the edge of your cymbals they work a lot better than sticking tape on them and you can go back to being loud when you need to.

A really good purchase.

Good... I think?

Anonymous 22.08.2016

This product works, but does change the characteristics of the cymbal somewhat.

My band mates couldn't hear a huge change in volume, but I think that I could. Less ringing in the ear at the end of the night at least!

Takes out lots of the sustain. Although I did go for the maximum sizes to try to kill as much volume a possible.

The product itself is very well made and should last longer than felts... Although these are doing a different job...

Worth a go if excessive volume is bringing you down.

Good for reducing harsher frequencies.

Jako Mark 02.04.2025

I use these pads on my chinas, crashes and effects cymbals. Since we're rehearsing in a small room, they help a lot! I imagine they would be perfect on a small stage also, because they cut the nasty harsh high frequencies.
I would definitely seek these out again for my cymbal stands.
