Tying Pad Straps

In this video you are going to learn how to tie pad straps.

What you’ll need:

• Pair of cymbals
• Pad Straps (1/8” paracord)
• Cymbal Straps
• Cymbal Pads
• Scissors
• Lighter
• Electrical Tape

Pad Straps are great for modern cymbal playing. They allow you to fasten your pad down in such a way where you hand can go under the pad and the pad won’t slide off your cymbal strap. Having the versatility of being under the pad while playing is great for juggling and getting back to a playing grip quickly.
