Frequently asked questions
- How do you tie cymbal straps?
- Zildjian teaches a box knot: feed the ends through the cymbal hole, set the tension, then loop each end over the nearest strand and under the next. Tighten a little at a time, without forcing any one strand.
- How do you set the strap tension?
- With your hand in playing position, adjust before tying. Too loose and you lose control of the cymbal; too tight and it is hard to grab, and your hand tires during rehearsal.
- What type of strap is best for concert playing?
- According to Zildjian, leather is the most comfortable and lasts longer; nylon, more elastic, costs less. In concert, many percussionists play without a pad for better control of the cymbal.
