The Quick Release Cymbal Lock lets you change your cymbals quickly and easily. Simply press the release button, and slip on or off the cymbal post. The spring-loaded release button has high tension with inner grabber teeth so that the cymbal mount cannot be removed without manually pressing it. You can hit as hard as you want and the lock will not release during play. Fine tune the amount of tension placed on your cymbal once the cymbal mount is applied to the threaded post by turning to loosen or tighten to the desired pressure.
