Evans SoundOff Cymbal Mute - SOCYM

The Evans SoundOff Cymbal Mute (SOCYM) is every drummer’s quiet sidekick—a simple yet incredibly effective tool designed to turn your roaring cymbals into practice-friendly pads without losing the feel of your kit. Whether you’re working on dynamics, hand speed, or just keeping the groove alive between rehearsals, this mute lets you play naturally without waking the house.

Crafted from durable, non-slip rubber, the SoundOff mute slips over most standard-sized crash, ride, and hi-hat cymbals with zero fuss. It dramatically reduces volume by up to 95%, making it ideal for apartments, late-night practice sessions, shared living spaces, or teaching environments where control is key.

Unlike homemade alternatives or blanket solutions that rob you of cymbal definition, the SOCYM maintains stick rebound and feel remarkably well. You’ll still hear the attack and tone—just at whisper levels. It’s also incredibly lightweight and easily removable, so your cymbals stay pristine underneath and are ready to gig when you are.

At Musicmaker, we’ve fitted these on countless kits for everyone from beginner students to pro-level players looking to tame their practice rigs without sacrificing touch. If you’re serious about improving your playing without compromising relationships (or walls), the SoundOff Cymbal Mute is a no-brainer.
