Cymbal Straps unfortunately break with enough use, so it's a good idea to know how to tie a cymbal knot. Above is an illustration showing the step by step process for tying a cymbal knot.
Cymbal straps can either be purchased at your local drum shop or music store, or you can make them yourself by cutting them out of a piece of leather. You can use your old straps for a pattern or adjust the size for a more custom feel.
