These are essentially cellular foam replacements for the felts on cymbal stands and are offered in standard size (called Optimizers) as well as larger ones for volume control (called Moderators). I first used these at the Coach Road session we did on our first visit to the UK. The engineer A/B’ed the difference the Moderator models can make, and as soon as we got home from that trip, I purchased a full set. They give you a ton of versatility without having to change cymbals. As with many bands, the sizes of venues we play on a given tour can range from tiny coffee shops to 500-cap rooms with serious PA systems. The Moderators act similar to putting some tape on your cymbals to dampen the sound, however, they don’t alter the feel of cymbals nearly as much. Even the normal-sized ones are great for the times when you have to use backline hardware where the felts are typically blown out. (http://cympad.com)
