Cymbal Accessories UK - Protect, Shape & Store Your Cymbals | Into Music Store, Horncastle
Cymbals are among the most expressive and individual components of a drum kit — and the right accessories can protect them, extend their life, and actively shape the sounds they produce.
Cymbal felts and sleeves are the most essential cymbal accessories. Felts sit between the cymbal and the stand hardware, allowing the cymbal to vibrate freely while protecting the bell and bow from metal-on-metal contact. Worn or missing felts cause cymbals to crack at the bell over time — replacing them regularly is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect a cymbal investment. Sleeves protect the cymbal hole from the stand's tilter rod, preventing the hole from enlarging and cracking. Prices for felts and sleeves start from around £3 upwards.
Sizzlers and rivets add sustained, washy overtones to a cymbal's natural sound — a classic jazz and studio technique that transforms the character of a ride or crash without permanent modification. The Meinl Cymbal Tuner MCT, developed in collaboration with Benny Greb, takes this further: a precision-engineered tuning system that allows fine control over a cymbal's pitch and sustain characteristics, giving drummers a new dimension of tonal control.
Cymbal wall mounts like the CymWall provide a space-efficient, display-worthy storage solution for cymbals not in use — keeping them safely off the floor, protected from accidental damage, and visible in the studio or practice space.
