Cympad Optimizer Ride 40/18mm (2-pieces)

Let your ride cymbal breathe – with the right support under heavy cymbals. The Cympad Optimizer Ride (OR) is a pair of 40 mm washers with a taller 18 mm height, made for ride and larger crash cymbals. Cympad Optimizers are made from premium-quality cellular foam – a modern replacement for old felt washers.

Why customers choose it

• Better than felt: premium cellular foam is a major improvement over conventional felt washers.
• Consistent: every washer has the same size and density, so your cymbals sit the same way every time.
• Superior suspension and isolation: supports the cymbal and isolates it from the stand and mounting hardware, while letting it move and resonate naturally.
• Kinder to cymbals: cushions hard contact and stress between cymbal and metal hardware – many drummers tell Cympad they get fewer cymbal breakages (results depend on playing style, setup and cymbals).
• Better sound and feel: a natural, more comfortable feel in every drumming situation.
• Made for big cymbals: the 18 mm height is Cympad’s version for ride and larger crashes.

Who it is for

Drummers who want better support and sound from a ride or a large crash cymbal – at home, in the studio or on stage.
