I Purchased this cymbal sound off for the cymbals on a pearl target kit which is in a bedroom in the house so it's important to keep the sound down during practice ,they are made of a thick rubber material which is very durable when playing the sound is reduced significantly ,the feel isn't a natural feel of hitting a cymbal and the styles you can play with it on are limited ,it's very easy to put on and off ,it does do what it's meant to which is dampen the sound but don't expect it to sound the same as an undampened cymbal.
