Detail 02

Cup washer shape

Concave washer seats the felt and cymbal, keeping the hi-hat centered rather than sliding on the rod.

Sold as a small part

One replacement piece. Not a rebuild kit for the whole stand.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01What does a cup washer actually do?

It seats under the cymbal and felt so the hi-hat stays centered on the rod and moves cleanly instead of shifting sideways.

02Does this include the felt?

No. This is the washer only. Felts are bought separately.

03Will it work on another brand's hi-hat stand?

It's made to Pearl's dimensions. Fit on other brands isn't guaranteed — compare against your existing washer first.

04Do I need tools to install it?

No. Loosen the clutch or wing nut, swap the washer, retighten.
