Lem's Felts, manufactured by Earl Lemley, are THE highest quality cymbal felts, made from 100% American sheep's wool . Earl is a gasket maker by trade in Bristol Connecticut. He makes sleeves and felts that are far above the quality that come with standard cymbal stands.
Are cymbal felts that important? Earl Lemley says “You bet your sweet drumsticks they are!”
The quality of the material in cymbal felts make all the difference in the sound. You can listen to the change in tone and the longer fade when comparing Lem’s cymbal felts to run of the mill felts.
Some felts disintegrate before their life span while the best get better with use. Lem’s felts are made with pure wool with no additives. Used by such pro drummers as Mickey Curry (Bryan Adams), Lee Kelly (Hank Williams Jr.) and Bobby T Torello (late great Johnny Winter). Also one of George’s Pics (George Lawrence - Not So Modern Drummer)
