So these have been out for a few years now but I decided to try them after removing the top felt and wing nut from my cymbal stands and they’re a brilliant idea I thought I’d share in case anyone didn’t know what they are.
The No Nuts cymbal sleeve is basically a sleeve that replaces ALL of the stuff you normally have on a cymbal stand to mount your cymbals. You remove everything, then screw on the sleeves, put a felt on there (I believe some people have tried them without felts and have gotten good results), then drop your cymbal on top.
They’re pretty permanent once you get them on (my Yamaha stands are a little thicker than other stands). I had to use some Herculean effort to get the sleeves on, and the nice thing is they’re a bit fatter so when I put the Yamaha felt back on, it was tight enough that it wouldn’t come off. So if I gig with them, I don’t have to worry about the felts coming off when I break down to case everything up.
The cymbal is allowed complete freedom of movement. Check out NoNutsPercussion.com if you’d like to try them out - they come in packs of three so I got two packs - one for my home hardware, one set for my traveling hardware. Ingenious!
