Cympad Moderator Double Set 60mm

Cympad Moderator Double Set comprises two 60 mm isolation pads designed to decouple cymbals from hardware and reduce vibration transmission to the drum kit. Manufactured by Cympad, a Swiss precision acoustics company, these pads address a core problem: unsupported cymbals sustain longer than necessary, muddying tone and creating wash. The Moderator line targets the reduction of unwanted overtones whilst maintaining cymbal clarity—essential for drummers working in tight, controlled acoustic environments or recording settings.

Each pad measures 60 mm in diameter and features a dual–layer elastomer construction engineered to absorb high–frequency vibrations whilst preserving fundamental pitch. The material composition offers durability through repeated mounting cycles, with a design philosophy centred on minimal contact surface area between cymbal and stand pole. Installation involves slipping pads onto the post below the cymbal; the engineering ensures consistent damping characteristics across the frequency spectrum without introducing a synthetic or deadened character. Cympad's research prioritises maintaining resonance integrity whilst selectively filtering transient noise.

The double set format accommodates standard drum kit setups where multiple cymbals benefit from isolation treatment. Drummers using these pads across crash, ride, or hi–hat applications report tighter sustain decay, improved articulation during fast passages, and clearer definition in dense polyrhythmic playing. The pads remain unobtrusive during performance—no modifications to cymbal or hardware required—making them a reversible upgrade suitable for touring rigs as well as permanent studio installations.
