Super Convenient! Spare Parts Every Drummer Should Have!

Hello, Drummers! This is Nishino, the drum specialist at Sound House!
Have you ever found yourself thinking during practice or performances, “I wish this part of my setup was just a bit easier…”? Today, I would like to introduce all of you to some incredibly handy drum parts that can solve those frustrations and make your playing more comfortable, and even more creative!

Transform Your Cymbal Setup!

Let’s start by focusing on the cymbals. Since cymbals produce such delicate and nuanced sounds, getting their setup just right is crucial.

Swap Cymbals Instantly! – TAMA / QC8 Cymbal Mate

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could switch cymbals faster during a live set” or “I want to reduce setup time,” then the TAMA QC8 Cymbal Mate is perfect for you.

No more twisting screws like with traditional cymbal nuts. With the TAMA QC8 Cymbal Mate, just lift the lever, place the cymbal, and lower the lever to lock it securely in place. This makes swapping cymbals incredibly easy!

For drummers who use multiple cymbals during rehearsals or between songs in a live set, this kind of quick setup can be a major advantage. Plus, thanks to its simple design, it’s highly durable and perfect for long-term, worry-free use.

Fine-Tune Your Cymbal Response – TECHRA / CYMLOCK0

If you’ve ever thought, “I want more control over my cymbal movement” or “I’d like to fine-tune the sustain,” then the TECHRA CYMLOCK is for you.

The CYMLOCK uses synthetic felt that won't damage your cymbals and offers long-term protection and peace of mind. It fits between the cymbal and the stand, and its quick-release locking system allows you to remove and replace cymbals instantly with just one touch.
By adjusting the spacing, you can control how much the cymbal moves—letting you tailor the sound to fit your playing style or genre. For example, in jazz where subtle touches matter, you might reduce the sustain slightly, while in rock you might let the cymbals ring out more freely for a more powerful effect. This gives you total freedom to shape your cymbal sound exactly the way you want.

For Drummers on the Move

If you're someone who frequently sets up and tears down your kit, having reliable spare parts can make a huge difference.

Perfect as Spare Cymbal Felt Washers – PLAYTECH / DCF100X & DHC100X

Have you ever experienced your cymbal felt washers mysteriously disappearing during transport or setup? You're not alone! The PLAYTECH DCF100X and DHC100X are budget-friendly solutions to this very common issue.

For Drummers Who Want to Dive Deeper into Their Sound

To wrap up, here are some great items for those of you looking to further refine and explore your drum sound.

Improve Your Snare Drum's Durability and Sound! AQUARIAN / dura-DOT
