GibraltarHi-Hat cymbal Felt (2-Pack)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Two replacement felts for the hi-hat clutch and cymbal seat. Buy when your current felts are compressed flat or torn through.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restoring a hi-hat that has gone rattly or lost stick response
- Keeping a spare pair in the stick bag for gigs
- Setting up a secondhand hi-hat stand missing its felts
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing cymbal sleeves or a full clutch assembly
- Drummers replacing felts on ride or crash stands who need taller stacks
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Felt, not rubber
Absorbs shock and lets the cymbal move freely. Rubber grips harder and chokes sustain.
Detail 03
Compression is what wears out
A flattened felt puts metal near metal, which kills stick feel and risks cracking the bell hole.
Detail 04
Sits on the clutch rod
Felt thickness sets how tightly the top hat clamps, which directly changes chick tightness and wash.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many felts does a hi-hat need?
Usually three: two on the clutch sandwiching the top cymbal, one on the stand's bottom cymbal seat. This two-pack covers the clutch pair.
02How do I know when to replace hi-hat felts?
When they are compressed thin, torn at the center hole, or the top cymbal wobbles and rattles against the clutch. Stick response goes dead and imprecise.
03Will these fit any hi-hat stand?
They fit standard clutch rods and hi-hat pulls, which nearly all brands share. Measure your rod if you have an unusual or vintage stand.
04Does felt thickness change the sound?
Yes. Thicker felt loosens the top cymbal for more wash and a looser chick. Thinner or compressed felt tightens the pair and cuts sustain.
