Pearl NP-208 Hi-Hat Rubber Washer

I have used these for years on all my hi-hat stands. These simply force hi-hat cymbals to return to their set position perfectly and quickly - not the case with the traditional felts which compress unevenly.

That's the benefit for me - for others they may offer another plus: a bit more "sizzle" from hi-hats due to less muffling effects than a felt that touches a larger area of the all-important cymbal bottom bell.

Anyway, highly recommended.

This is a really great little product and helps position your bottom high hat in the position that you want it to be in. The rubber material also prevents any wear around the contact point of the cymbal.

Functional and hardwearing being used on my DW 9000 hi-hat stand

good quality washer, i find it better than the felt washers and it will last longer without going out of shape which happens to the felt ones. I would recommend this item

Made my hi hats sound much more chicly and crisp, makes a dramatic difference! would highly highly recommend to anyone. It also holds the hi hats extremely sturdy! The best purchase I made in a long time! Its cheap! Buy it!

This is a fantastic upgrade for almost any hi-hat stand as it allows the bottom hi-hat cymbal to resonant more freely than with a felt underneath.

Bought this due to losing the original on a video shoot in a field back in 2007 and I'm still using it now with no sign of it wearing out anytime soon.

Put this on my DW9500 to replace the stock felt. Cymbal seats more evenly and increases accuracy on Hi-Hat top and bottom sync.
