Sleeves?
- None needed. The Grombal effectively moves the sleeve function from
the stand to the cymbal. And keeps it there.
Felts?
- Optional if desired. The large base of the Grombal was included
to protect the cymbal from contacting a metal support washer if felts
were not used or available. This same base also isolates full felt
contact with the cymbal if they are used. We recommend you try them
without felts, our goal is to reduce the drummers spare parts load.
Wingnuts?
- Again, optional. The flexible design of The Grombal allows the deflection
of the cymbal to compress The Grombal against the shaft of the stand
to keep the cymbal in place. The more the cymbal moves, the tighter
the grip. Drummers encounter missing wingnuts, our goal was to safely
allow the cymbal to be played in the absence of a wingnut, but it
is compatible with wingnut use.
Cupped
washer? - We do recommend their use, they extend the
life of The Grombal tremendously. But you get to a show and one is
missing? You can still place your cymbal on the stand and play it.
At a more convenient time you can replace the missing washer. Sort
of like a spare tire, there when you need it most.
