The story of becoming Cympillow

Cympillow is a groundbreaking item that everyone now knows as an item that expands the range of cymbal tone and sustain.
Naturally, there was a process that led to this Cympillow...I was given a sneak peek at the process, so I'd like to introduce it to all JPC users.

①Felt processing

The splash cymbal I purchased didn't sound as expected, so I started by scraping the felt washer attached to the stand (it ended up being shaped like a shin pillow).
The splash cymbal starts to sound, but it doesn't change much for anything over 16 inches...

②Processing of thick urethane

Start selecting materials.
First, I went to a factory that makes urethane, selected the hardness and purchased it, but had trouble cutting it.
The sound was very good, but the next day it was flattened by the weight and didn't return to its original shape...

③Hard rubber processing

After all, it is difficult to cut, and rubber is basically hard and makes noise.

④Cork processing

It's difficult to cut and drill, and it's harder than I expected and ends up making noise.

⑤Cut and layer the leather

The finish was much harder than I expected due to the adhesive.
If that happens, the noise problem will occur as well. Lack of aesthetic beauty

⑤Fold back the grip tube and match it with the felt

This actually has the best sound!
Since this grip tube was made of silicone, we found a silicone factory and asked them to make a prototype in this form.

After that, we went through a lot of trial and error regarding the shape and size of silicone, resulting in Cympillow as we know it today.

THE CHECK of Cympillow!
At the store, we often receive questions such as ``What's the difference between this and conventional cymbal washers?'' and ``How much of a difference is there when comparing the sound?''
In order to find out the effects of Cympillow, we took a step further from the entrance and checked it out!

The cymbals "sound" well with this.
Cympillow is a completely new item that replaces traditional cymbal washers.
By changing the cylindrical shape that used to be supported by a flat surface to an egg shape on one side, the contact area is reduced and the cymbal's original sound is brought out.
