This is a decent product that works as advertised. Cymbal mounting and removal are fairly easy and quick once you get the hang of how to pinch the crown and angle your cymbal. My rating on the quality is a little lower than it would have been a couple of years ago, because half of the most recent ones I've bought had a separation (adhesive failure?) between the rubber pad on which the cymbals sit and the threaded base. They still work, but my older ones never had that problem. That said, cymbals move very freely and suffer no tone loss (however small) because they're not being pinched by felts, and setup and tear-down time are indeed reduced. This is an inexpensive way to make your life a little easier.

I have been using these for quite some time and i have to say they simplify my drum setup soo much! its great being able to just pop my cymbals down and not worry about losing wingnuts, or if my cymbal willfly off halfway through a show!, and i play super hard. this is a great product and is well worth the money if your looking for an easy and reliable way to mount your cymbals in a shorter time!
