Pearl FLW-003 Hi Hat Felt

Description

The Pearl FLW-003 Hi-Hat Felt (also known as the Hi-Hat Bottom Cup Cymbal Felt or Felt Washer) is a high-quality, large replacement felt cushion specifically designed to sit beneath the bottom hi-hat cymbal on the lower cup or seat of most hi-hat stands, including Pearl’s popular HHC-1 and HHC-2 models as well as many third-party setups. Crafted from durable, dense felt material with an overall diameter of approximately 2 inches (50mm), a thickness of about 7/16 inch (11mm), and a central 3/8-inch hole for the rod, it provides essential support, shock absorption, and protection to prevent direct metal-to-cymbal contact that could cause cracking, chipping, or unwanted buzzing while ensuring smooth, consistent hi-hat action and a cleaner chick sound. This essential spare part absorbs vibrations, reduces wear on the bottom cymbal over time, and helps maintain proper spacing and response during fast footwork or heavy playing. Affordable, reliable, and widely compatible, the Pearl FLW-003 is a must-have for drummers who prioritize hi-hat performance, longevity, and tone integrity in both studio and live environments.
