Vic FirthIndividual Cymbal Mute Crash/Ride 20 to 22 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Foam mute that sits on a 20 to 22 inch crash or ride to cut volume and sustain. For practice and low-volume rooms.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Practicing on your real kit in an apartment or shared house
- Quieting a stage kit during rehearsal or soundcheck
- Recording sessions where cymbal wash is bleeding into mics
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a mute for hi-hats, splashes, or 16 inch crashes
- Drummers who want cymbal tone preserved, just quieter
- Live playing where you need the cymbal to project
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
Individual mute
One piece, one cymbal. Muting a full kit means buying a mute per cymbal or a full set.
Detail 03
Foam construction
Kills sustain almost entirely. You get attack and stick definition, not shimmer or wash.
Detail 04
Sits over the cymbal
Drops on and comes off in seconds, so switching between practice and full volume is fast.
Detail 05
Fits over existing setup
No hardware change needed. Your stands, felts and wing nuts stay as they are.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your cymbal. Under 20 inches, this will fit loosely and slide
- 02One mute only. Snare, tom and other cymbal mutes are sold separately
- 03Muted cymbals feel different under the stick. Your dynamics will not translate exactly to unmuted playing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How much does it quiet the cymbal?
Substantially. Foam mutes absorb most of the sustain, leaving a short, dry attack. Expect it to sound closer to a practice pad than a cymbal.
02Will it fit my 18 inch crash?
No. This one is sized for 20 to 22 inch cymbals. An 18 inch crash needs the smaller size in the range.
03Does it damage the cymbal?
It rests on the surface rather than clamping. Keep the cymbal and the foam clean so grit does not get trapped between them.
04Can I use this for recording quiet takes?
Yes. It reduces cymbal bleed into close mics, though it also removes most of the natural decay you would normally capture.
