Stand-mountable 20" Clear Acrylic Sound Barrier

If you need a little help spot-treating directional cymbals, horns, or combo amps in a live ensemble setting, the VDS-20DIA-K 20" Cymbal Shield from Sound Shields makes a noticeable difference. This 20" clear acrylic disc diffuses and deflects high-frequency content without obscuring sight lines. This means your players stay visible and those piercing crashes, trumpet stabs, and power chords stay out of your vocal mics. What's really great is that the VDS-20DIA-K mounts directly to an open cymbal stand or boom arm. So for drum set applications, the Sound Shields Cymbal Shield remains virtually invisible — just mount an additional cymbal boom off your stand, mount the Cymbal Shield, and you're golden. Looking for reduced stage bleed and a cleaner mix overall? You'll want to check out the Sound Shields VDS-20DIA-K Cymbal Shield from Sweetwater.

Sound Shields VDS-20DIA-K 20" Cymbal Shield Features:

  • 20" stand-mountable clear acrylic sound barrier
  • Helps diffuse cymbal sounds
  • Also helps spot-control amps and horns
  • Results in improved isolation and a cleaner mix overall
  • 1/2" center mounting hole — mounts directly to an open cymbal stand or boom arm

Easy fix for cymbal volume issues
I am a working drummer, that is full-time. And recently I've had issues with smaller gigs and cymbals bleeding into the vocal mics even though I really don't play big crashes (16,17). These were an easy fix that helped mitigate the volume issues. These were a lot less expensive than I thought they would be, and I simply attach them using a boom arm clamp off of each crash symbol stand. They do sell a package on the website that includes two boom stands, but I did not want to add that much to my rig so the boom arms with clamps seem to be in much easier route. All in all, this only added a small symbol bag carrying the two shields that I have to add to my loadout. it is nice to get a discount if you buy more than one and the set up is pretty easy.

Thought I'd be receiving a bit more of a finished, ready to go product, but for $... I guess what do you expect. Just a piece of plastic in a cardboard sleeve with plastic wrap on it.
