I like the yellow spring for my china, but there is a little bit of play almost as though my cymbal is not thick enough, even when the fitting is fully tightened because of this I get a nasty loud vibration.

To remedy this, I cut a 4mm cymbal felt and fitted it in between the top of the cymbal and the plastic top nut.  Can anyone see any problems in me doing this? It has stopped the noise, and the cymbal sounds great and is moving nicely on the spring…

I also have a red spring fitted to my splash (with the felt mod), I realise that they are intended for use on crashes, but it seems really happy and I like the feel. Is it going to cause me problems? Anyone tried this before?

Cheers

The Cymbal Springs will fit on any cymbal stand.

You can pick them up here!

Nice suggestion Nick H!

Bart,

The one Cymbal Spring I'm still using is about twenty years old, but I tried installing it on one of those Gibraltar cymbal boom-arm attachments, and the Spring didn't fit - not even close.

Keeping in mind the age of mine:  have the folks at Aquarian altered the design since then, to allow mounting on thicker cymbal stands like the Gibraltar?
