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.

Useful for taming harsh highs
Adrian866 07.10.2016
The set contains a variety of pads of different thikcnesses and diameters to accommodate different sizes of cymbals. Nice quality material, seems like they would last for a long time.
I use them only on the underside of the cymbal, in place of the bottom felt.
Do they work? Yes, in my opinion they do. They don't deaden the cymbals, rather they tame those harsh highs which can be grating if using bright cymbals. I wouldn't bother using them live, but for recording or just playing by myself, I really like how they smooth out those highs and make the brash/grating cymbals less so.

Good for practice
Tindi 02.10.2019
While they do take the volume of the cymbals down, they also kill the tone of it. I would not recommend to use the bigger ones for live playing.
For practicing they come pretty handy.

Good for studio
Anonymous 01.02.2017
First lets make it clear - no, these will not make your cymbals dead silent, these are not practice mutes. What you get is dampening - generally useful for taming a wild washy cymbal or to knock off few db for a recording. Probably could help with a small quiet-er gig (in combination with rods, etc.)

Pretty useful, but not as good as they promise
Santeri 28.10.2013
These do but down the volume of the cymbals. However, they but off the high end, and shorten the sustain.

Cympad moderator box set
Luke6713 09.12.2013
The Cympad moderators do excacly what you would expect from the name. They lesson the overall volume of the cymbals and make it well moderate. Great sturdy material and overall great product along with there other lines of cympads. Great for small venue playing e.g. jazz. Thanks again thomann!!!

Great for drummers in small places, the sound engineer will thank you
Pedrummer 19.05.2024
Many times Cymbals can take over the whole mix when playing at small places, this will still make them sound as Cymbals but will dampen them a little bit, which is great when you still want the Cymbals sound like Cymbals.
Great for audio engineers too.
