They look pretty rad on the cymbal stands, as well. I’m shocked these aren’t more popular.

After months of use, just as with regular cymbal holders, the sharp edges of the cymbal hole will eat away at the plastic, effectively rendering them useless. While not a lifetime solution, they’re still a good one.
