Versatile Cymbal Accessory
Cymgard: The Ultimate Cymbal Protector
Experience unmatched protection and sound control with Cymgard, the essential cymbal accessory for every drummer.
What Are Cymgards?
Cymgards are elastic rubber edge protectors that fit onto and around a cymbal’s perimeter. Designed to shield cymbals from damage and reduce noise, Cymgards are the go-to solution for drummers seeking to preserve their instruments. They are light weight, work well on stand-mounted cymbals, and protect your cymbals when carried in cymbal bags or stored in vaults. Our product can extend the life of your cymbals and enhances your practice sessions by minimizing sound without compromising feel. Trusted by musicians worldwide, Cymgard is your partner in cymbal protection and performance.
Cymgards are available to fit the following cymbal diameters: 10″, 13″, 14″, 16″, 18″, 20″
Key Features of Cymgards
Cymgard offers a range of features that cater to the needs of every drummer, ensuring both protection and performance.
Dependable Heavy Edge Armoring
Whether your cymbals are mounted at home or on stage, stored in bags or on racks, or stacked against a wall, they need Cymgard protection. Why? Due to their weight, shape and composition, cymbals are fragile. They can easily split, crack or chip if dropped or struck. Unfortunately, cymbal damage is irreversible…and so is their replacement cost. Enter Cymgard.
When tested for durability, Modern Drummer says the cymbal received “absolutely no damage whatsoever.”
Effective Sound Dampening
We all love the open and bright sound of our cymbals but when it comes to practicing during quieter times, slip on a Cymgard for effective sound dampening. You’ll still experience the natural feel of striking your cymbal with your stick but the sound will be deadened. Throw away the tape.
Shipping and Transport Protection
Cymgards provide an inexpensive and effective solution for cushioning cymbals when mailed, shipped, and transported. Would you like additional protection when carrying your cymbals in cymbal bags or in vaults? Armor your cymbals in Cymgards and then transport them with confidence.
Stack Padding
Cymbals fitted with Cymgards can be safely stacked horizontally and vertically. Cymgards prevent cymbal edge contact with racks and other surfaces, as well as with other cymbals. These safeguards ensure that your cymbals will remain preserved and protected whether stored in bags, vaults, or when placed against any surface.

How To Install Cymgards
At the label, slip your cymbal edge into the flexible Cymgard slot, apply pressure with your index finger, and pull the cymgard straight out and snap it down onto the cymbal’s edge. Repeat and work the Cymgard around and onto your cymbal. Like a new baseball mitt or shoes, Cymgards break in and mold to the shape of your cymbals. Molding is important because cymbals of the same diameter class often vary in profile, taper, thickness, weight, and yes – in diameter. Depending on the manufacturer, diameters can vary as much as one-quarter of an inch either side of the advertised base-zero diameter. Over time, Cymgards fit like a glove.
