Cympad Cymbal Felts & Drum Isolation UK - Into Music Store, Horncastle, Lincolnshire

Cympad's engineering approach to cymbal felts and drum isolation has made them one of the most respected names in cymbal accessories. The key insight behind the Cympad Optimiser is simple but effective — standard felt washers compress over time and can restrict a cymbal's vibration, affecting its sustain and tonal character. Cympad's cellular foam construction maintains its shape and allows the cymbal to vibrate more freely, producing a more consistent, open tone.

The Moderator range extends this with a dampening function — available in five diameters from 50mm to 100mm, allowing drummers to dial in exactly the amount of sustain reduction they need. The Undertones range addresses a different problem: vibration transfer from the kit to the floor, which can affect the feel of the bass drum pedal and the tone of floor toms. Undertones isolation pads for floor tom legs, bass drum spurs, and pedals are a simple, affordable upgrade for any drummer who plays on hard floors.

Prices across the Cympad range start from around £6 upwards for Moderator sets, with Optimiser sets from around £8 upwards and Undertones isolation pads from around £28 upwards. At Into Music Store in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, we stock the full Cympad range online across the UK with UK next day delivery available.

Cympad Undertones are isolation pads designed to reduce vibration transfer from the drum kit to the floor.
