TAMA QC8 Quick-Set Cymbal Mate

I love these. There isn't anything bad to say about these really. If you like to crank down on your cymbals to the point where you risk damaging the cymbal, I guess you should stick with wing nuts. But for everyone else, these work perfectly. The best part, they cut down set-up and tear-down time tremendously. I play a lot of gigs, teach, and have quite a few of these on my main kit. The more cymbals you have, the more benefit you'll get from switching to this product.

Never spend minutes screwing on a cymbal wingnut ever again. Snaps right on each cymbal in less than a second. Been using them for years on both my drum kits - 8 of them on one set and 6 on the other.

i hold cymbal down like it should even the felts! the holdiest holder topper quick thing ever

It's really an unnecessary item.

So great for traveling and setting up cymbals for gig and rehearsals. Saves so much time.

We occasionally have to set up and tear down quickly - these Cymbal Mates really save a ton of time if you have several cymbals to set up, and they hold securely. Time will tell on the durability aspect, but so far, so good!

Easy on / off ...great time saver for gigs.

If you're like me and you like to constantly experiment with different cymbal combinations, there are essential.
