Pearl PL-011 Cymbal Seat Cup – Replacement Cymbal Support (PL-011)

The Pearl PL-011 Cymbal Seat Cup sits between your stand’s metal post and the cymbal, giving it a stable, cushioned platform. A fresh seat helps your cymbal sit flat, swing naturally, and avoid metal-on-metal contact that can lead to keyholing, noise, or odd overtones. If your current seat is cracked, misshapen, or missing, replacing it is a quick, low-cost way to protect your cymbals and restore proper feel.

Key Features

• Protects cymbals from metal-on-metal contact to help prevent keyholing and wear

• Supports and cushions the cymbal so it sits square and swings freely

• Restores clean tone by eliminating rattle or harshness caused by worn seats

• Direct OEM replacement for stands that use the PL-011 style seat cup

• Simple maintenance: drop-in swap during a head or felt change

Why Choose the PL-011

• Better feel and sustain: a good seat lets the cymbal move naturally, improving response and decay.

• Prevents damage: a small part that can save far more expensive cymbals from long-term wear.

• Reliable fit: designed by Pearl for consistent dimensions and long service life.
