Review: Used them to create Budget Electronic Cymbals - I use these Evans SoundOff mutes on two fixed hi-hats with a a 14" mute drum pad inside the h-hat as well. Sounds daft until you attach a Piezo pickup with 1/4" jack socket to the underside of the top hi-hat cymbal.... and hey presto you now have an Electronic fixed hi-hat to put into your A2E drum kit. Most drum modules work the open and closed off the pedal so doesn't matter that the cymbals are closed all the time. I also put some of the same mutes onto 14" Crash Cymbals and purchased a couple of the 20" and 22' Ride versions of the mute. Same thing again, attached a Piezo pickup to each cymbal. I now have a full A2E (mesh headed) drum kit with about 9 real cymbals on it that I can play at anytime of the day without disturbing any neighbours. The thunk from striking the cymbals and hi-hat is not that much different to hitting traditional electronic kit rubber cymbals, but the feel is certainly a lot better than the rubber cymbals or the traditional foam type cymbal pads on a real cymbal. You will get a variance in the thunk, depending on the cymbal size, a muted 22" ride will certainly thunk differently to a 14" muted crash. These mutes also leave 2 sections of bow and edge open as well as the bell, so you can still hit the real parts of a cymbal instead of the mute if you wish. That way you get the feel of stick on metal but the the mute across the cymbal and round the edge will still mute considerably as the cymbal cannot vibrate to create the full sound. So louder than striking the rubber section but still at acceptable practice levels. The shame is that they only do these mutes in the 14", 20" and 22", although they will stretch to fitting an inch bigger on each (15", 21" and 23"), as it would be even better to be able to use them on 16", 18" and some small splash cymbals as well. I will be moving on to some higher end professionally built electronic cymbals very soon, if a pending road test shows them to be any better than my improvised cymbals, but using these Evans SoundOff mutes to create my own budget electronic cymbals has been really effective and I cannot rate the mutes highly enough for this slightly untraditional purpose.
Review: Realistic feel and v quiet - These are much more realistic than silent stroke heads. Just don’t put one on top of a silent stroke as it won’t stay on!
