Cymbomute Pro360º 16/17" Cymbal Mute/Silencer/Dampener

Extremely disappointed, as I thought I'd finally found a cheap and viable solution to muting cymbals..The Cymbomute amounts to nothing more than a thin piece of fabric, which stretches around your cymbal to dampen the volume at the expense of the cymbal's tone i.e. Your cymbal is much quieter but sounds terrible. However, this would be the case if it only stayed on... The Cymbomute is not only incredibly tedious to get on for larger sizes, but flys off your cymbals during use (you don't even need to hit them hard).I bought 4 for my cymbals; one for my hi-hats, two crashes and a ride. Apart from the small 13/14/15" for the hi-hats, they all felt too big for the recommended sizes and did not sit tightly on. But when trying to use one on a cymbal the next size up, they felt like they were about to rip... I imagine the reviewers who had no issues with this product, were all owners of odd-sized cymbals.. The design of the Cymbomute just appears too flawed, seeing as a lot of reviewers are reporting size and durability issues.All of the issues I've had, other reviewers had mentioned, so I'm very annoyed I took a gamble on this product. I would've been in a better position to purchase a set of low-volume cymbals had I not.TWO STARS, because for the asking price, if the Cymbomute was capable of staying on a cymbal during use, it would be a very reasonable price for this product. The ability to play the cymbal normally at a reduced volume (albeit at the expense of the cymbal's tone) is brilliant for little over £10. It's doing exactly what you want. The durability could even be forgiven, provided they're not tearing within 3 months of use at least.. However, all of this is useless if the product does not even stay where it's needed, rendering it unusable. And I'm not duct-taping them to my cymbals like some have recommended...

After experimenting with one, I now have Cymbomutes on all my crashes. For practicing, these kill off way more sound/decibels than SoundOffs, and this means I can expand the window within which I can normally practice. Very useful product.

Does not work as soon as you hit the crash it comes flying off. Not happy at all such a waste of money!!!
