This package is for those who need cymbal felts for a basic setup consisting of a ride, crash, and hi-hat. That's exactly what this package contains Cympad optimizers for. Therefore, you don't need to buy a bunch of different packages to meet your needs, but can settle for the starter kit here.
Cympad Optimizer is a new improved type of cymbal felt designed to last for years, look good, and optimize the sound and movements of your cymbals.
The product is produced in Switzerland and is made of a high-quality cellular foam material. It is not a traditional felt material, but an updated and improved version that, among other things, provides better freedom of movement in the cymbals.
In addition, the product is more uniform and easier to work with. Optimizers have uniform sizes and density, which provides better mounting and isolation from stands and mounting hardware.
Finally, there are three different thicknesses of optimizers available, so you can get your cymbals set exactly as desired.
Overall, all of this results in a more natural movement in your cymbals, creating a more open and natural sound.
Cympad Optimizers look good with their black-gray color. But if you want to go all-in on drum cosmetics, also check out the Chromatics product. These are available in many colors and are intended to be placed as the top (visible) felt washer on your cymbal.
In addition, Cympad does not fuzz like traditional felt, thus keeping the appearance intact.
