ABSTRACT:
A practice cover for a cymbal for covering a major portion of the upper surface of the cymbal to provide a nonvibratory surface to be struck by a percussion stick when a player is practicing the cymbals. The practice cover muffles the sound of the cymbals to allow the percussion player to practice while maintaining the cymbals substantially noiseless. The practice cover includes a annular member formed from a resilient material having an outer diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the cymbal to be covered and a centrally located annular opening having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the bell of the cymbal to be covered. The annular member is adapted to overlie and be in substantially continuous contact with the upper surface of the cymbal to provide a nonvibratory surface to be struck by the percussion stick which simulates the action of the cymbal on the percussion stick while muffling the majority of the sound normally produced by the cymbal. Means are also provided for attaching the annular member to the cymbal stand supporting the cymbal to position the annular member in a position overlying the upper surface of the cymbal.
