If you wrap some electrical tape on the treaded section of a 6mm standard they work fine. I have done this to a number of old Premier Olympic stands and a sonor stand. Great review.
Thank you for this great, detailed review James (and your playing)!!! QUICK QUESTION!! The cymbal you stack at 10:47 was on a 6mm stand... Does that mean that cymbal has a 6mm keyhole? (OR:) Will a (vintage) cymbal w/smaller keyhole (6mm) fit on the uppermost taper of this No Nuts Cymbal Sleeve? All the best! Your Chanel is greatly appreciated!
that splash cymbal fits on any stand (it did come off a 6mm stand but with No Nuts sleeves...if you use there rubber washer you could put a vintage or smaller holed cymbal wherever needed of the sleeve.
@@JamesAnimalHarrison Oh wow! Thanks so much James!!! Because of your very vid---and advice--I've just now ordered the sleeves AND the rubber washer gizmos. AWESOME!!! Much appreciated :-)
To anyone else concerned, it's a big NO on these fitting a 6mm (vintage) cymbal's hole (any part of the No Nuts Cymbal Sleeve's shaft is too large). So... NO WAY and NO HOW.
@@JamesAnimalHarrison Sadly, no; totally impossible. I even tried to shave its edges down, at the top of the shaft... BUT, I *think* if I get a short-ish DOWEL (6mm diameter) and pop it into the top end of the tube (after mounting the No Nuts), it'll maybe work for my needs, so (hopefully) not a total waste :-) Thank you James! (Obviously I can still use this for normal cymbals, as is, so not a waste.) I should mention I'm mounting this on the BAR portion of the Meinl Percussion HMC-1 Standard Multi-clamp One Mount, so not putting it on a typical cymbal stand.
@@JamesAnimalHarrison I think maye because the post gets thinner higher and the cymbal as a result moves more freely. I thought it choked them a bit in the store but I might give them a shot as I drum on open jam nights and drummers are pounding my wing nuts off and almost the entire plastic sleeves and felts smh!
You have the most convincing logical review or video on these.
Thanks

Yeah, the guys at No Nuts reached out and told me right after the video
Good review. Thanks James. Best wishes!
thanks
That’s a great review

@@daleturner You weren't able to get any part of it on with the rubber washers below it and above it?

i think the felt will dampen the sound rather than let it ring....
I actually noticed the opposite. I felt the cymbals sounded and sustained better with the felts

@@Monsterdrumma I put a cymbal felt underneath to raise the cymbal a little more up the taper on the sleeve
Are they more durable than normal sleeves?
so far...yes
so far...yes
