ABSTRACT:
A cymbal (10) sound muffling device (18) for use during practice includes a flexible circular disc (20) of elastic sheet rubber or plastic with an edge margin (24) that extends back onto the disc lower surface (25). In assembly, the edge margin (24) is stretched over the cymbal edges such that disc covers the cymbal upper surface and the edge margin (24) contacts the cymbal lower surface. Practice striking of the so-enclosed cymbal with a drumstick (26) provides an authentic playing feel to the practicing musician.
