TAMA 7081P Cymbal Felt Washers – 2-Pack
TAMA 7081P Cymbal Felt Washers – 2-Pack
Genuine TAMA replacement felts that protect your cymbals, preserve their sustain, and fit any standard cymbal stand.
A Small Part That Does a Big Job
Cymbal felts are easy to overlook until yours are worn flat, cracked, or missing entirely — and then you notice immediately. The TAMA 7081P is the go-to replacement for drummers who want the real thing: genuine TAMA felts sized and shaped to work properly on standard cymbal stands, cushioning the cymbal from the stand hardware while allowing it to vibrate and resonate the way it was designed to. They mount above or below the cymbal, keeping the bell and bow protected from direct metal contact. Whether you're restoring a stand that came with beat-up felts or just keeping a few spares in your stick bag, this 2-pack is an honest, reliable solution that costs almost nothing and makes a noticeable difference in how your cymbals feel and sound on the stand.
Key Highlights
- Genuine TAMA replacement felts designed for use with standard cymbal stands
- Cushion your cymbals from stand hardware to prevent cracking and unwanted choke
- Allow cymbals to vibrate freely for full, natural sustain and tone
- Mount above or below the cymbal for proper top and bottom placement
- Grey felt construction, round form — consistent size and density across both pieces
- Two felts per pack — covers a single cymbal stand completely, top and bottom
- Compatible with all common cymbal stands, not just TAMA hardware
Why You'll Love It
Features
Each pack contains two round grey felt washers measuring approximately 1-3/8" in diameter and 1/2" thick. They are genuine TAMA parts, made from felt and designed to fit standard cymbal stand shafts. Both pieces are uniform in size and density.
Advantages
Worn or absent felts let cymbals sit directly against metal hardware, which deadens sustain and can lead to stress cracks over time. Fresh, properly sized felts restore the correct contact point and let the cymbal move and ring the way it should.
Benefits
Your cymbals sound better, last longer, and feel right under the stick when the felts are in good shape. This is one of the simplest and most cost-effective maintenance steps any drummer can take — and having spares on hand means you're never stuck mid-setup.
Great Fit For
- Drummers replacing cracked, compressed, or missing felts on existing stands
- Players building or rebuilding a cymbal stand setup from scratch
- Gigging musicians who keep a small spares kit in their hardware bag
- Teachers and studio owners maintaining shared drum kits
- Anyone setting up a new cymbal who wants proper placement hardware ready to go
Why Felts Matter
A cymbal that sits directly on bare metal hardware is a cymbal that can't ring out fully — and one that's at risk of developing stress fractures from vibration against a hard surface. Felt washers solve both problems by creating a soft, compliant interface between the cymbal and the stand. When seated correctly with one felt below the cymbal and one above, the cymbal is free to move naturally under the stick, sustain cleanly, and stay protected from impact fatigue. It's a detail that experienced drummers take seriously, and one that new players benefit from understanding early.
Specifications
It says something good about a drummer when they sweat the small stuff. Keeping fresh felts on your stands is exactly the kind of quiet maintenance habit that separates a kit that just works from one that gives you little headaches at the worst possible moments. We like having these in stock for that reason — they're the kind of thing you want to grab without thinking too hard about it.
