Cympad Moderators are foam pads designed to reduce unwanted overtones in cymbals by controlling their vibration. When placed between the cymbal and its stand, they act as dampeners, absorbing excess energy that would otherwise cause prolonged ringing and dissonant tones. This results in a more focused and controlled sound, enhancing the clarity and precision of each strike. By minimizing these overtones, Cympad Moderators help drummers achieve a cleaner, more professional sound, making them an essential accessory for both studio recording and live performances.
