ABSTRACT:
A pliable and resilient mounting grommet, forced into deployment in a cymbal aperture, is secured to a cymbal, rather than to the cymbal support rod, and includes a reduced diameter neck residing in the cymbal aperture. The cymbal and grommet may be removed as a unit from a support rod and placed on another support rod. A non-metal rigid washer may be permanently bonded to the bottom surface of the grommet to prevent the grommet from slipping down along the support rod. The grommet may be interiorly reinforced with strengthening material at the neck portion. A thumbscrew having a soft bottom portion may be used to tighten the cymbal in place.
