Abstract: The Invention pertains to a hardware device designed for mounting, securing, and retaining cymbals on cymbal stands, boom arms and cymbal holders. The device addresses drawbacks of existing cymbal mounting systems by offering unique features that enhance use across a wide range of cymbal stands and cymbal holders by assisting with mounting and removing cymbals, transporting and storing cymbal stands and equipment, and optimizing sound quality of cymbals during use. Key design features enable users to mount cymbals with one hand without having to remove and reinstall a retaining component, and prevent loss of cymbal felts and sleeves when cymbals are removed from cymbal stands or equipment. The length of the device allows secure attachment to cymbal stands and holders with varying cymbal tilter rod lengths. The device eliminates the need for additional mounting components, streamlines the setup process, reduces time-consuming assembly and disassembly, and prevents loss of ancillary components.
