That is a muffler made from felt. We use this kind or similar mufflers for shorten the sound when we need staccatos on instruments which has drum heads, it stops unnecessary resonances. Also we use it for fine tune adjustments of timpani. It helps stop the resonation of head while we tune each screw areas of head. So we can hear exact screw areas separately.

I have no word to express my sorrow. I'm watching now tv news about earthquake and they are a nightmare. I hope you and your family, friends are safe.
