Rhythm Rest Handpan Grips
Stay in the Flow.
Every time your handpan slips, your focus breaks.
Rhythm Rest is the world's first magnetic grip system designed to keep your handpan securely in place, so you can stay comfortable, stay focused, and lose yourself in the music.
Each grip features a soft, durable neoprene-rubber surface for exceptional comfort and stability, backed by powerful flexible magnets that attach directly to your handpan.
Installation takes seconds, leaves no sticky residue, and won't scratch or damage your instrument. The cushioned grips also create a protective buffer between your handpan and hard surfaces, helping protect the bottom of your instrument whenever you set it down.
Once installed, Rhythm Rest is designed to stay with your handpan. There's no need to remove it after each session—it fits comfortably inside most handpan cases, so your instrument is always ready to play.
Because Rhythm Rest attaches to your instrument—not your clothing—it works with any outfit and feels just as comfortable against bare skin.

Real musicians, real reviews
"I love how well made they are, feel and look really good in quality, easy to apply and gives the pan such a nice grip!!"
— Julia Baier (@changeofcolours)
"They work perfectly. I have never heard my A2 Mystic AsaChan sound so pure as when I have your magnet cut outs around the gu! The pan sounds flawless now! The magnets basically fixed everything I hated about my A2 Mystic!"
— Jacob Cole (@jacobcolepercussion)
The magnet grippers are an innovative solution to the handpan sliding in your lap, and the way they circle around the port means there's no interference with bottom notes. They're almost identical in function to the ones that strap to your legs, but I find the magnets simpler since they're attached directly to the pan.
— Mark Roes (@think.bemindful)
The Rhythm Rest grips were the perfect solution to play long hours and live concerts with more comfort and security! I tested it several times during my rehearsals and especially in the last Handpan Festival I had the opportunity to join. It made a whole lot of difference! It’s practical, easy to carry and place, and its aesthetics fits perfectly with the Handpan. Definitely going to use these as my main accessory for my Handpan set!

Will Rhythm Rest fit my handpan?
expand_more
Our grips are designed as a universal fit to most handpans on the market today, even those with large bottom notes.
When assembled as a full circle, the grips measure with an outside diameter of 8 inches, and an inside opening diameter of 5 inches.
The width of each grip individually is approximately 1.5 inches, with a thickness of 8mm.
How does it stick on?
expand_more
Rhythm Rest grips attach using magnets, so they don't require any adhesive and can be easily removed without causing damage or leaving any residue behind.
Curious if they'll work with your instrument? Try connecting a magnet to your instrument. If it sticks, then Rhythm Rest will, too!
Will it damage my handpan?
expand_more
Not at all! Our soft-bodied magnets won't scratch the surface of your instrument, and the padded exterior can actually help protect your handpan from damage when placing it down on a rough surface such as gravel, concrete, etc.
Will it change the way my handpan sounds?
expand_more
As long as your Rhythm Rest grips are not attached over a tone field, they will not impact the sound of your instrument.
In fact, we've even found that adding our Rhythm Rest grips to the bottom of your instrument can in some cases help to reduce crosstalk and unwanted frequencies. This is not a guaranteed benefit of using our grips, but has been observed in some scenarios!
Will they fit with a gu plug in place?
expand_more
Our grips have been designed to accommodate for many of the gu plugs we've seen during testing, but not all plugs are created equally -- some being wider than others.
If your gu plug is wider than 4.5 inches, your grips may need to be spread apart slightly to accommodate. This will not affect performance of the grips, but placement needs to be considered to make sure the magnets are not overlapping any tone fields.
Does Rhythm Rest work with tong drums / Ravs?
expand_more
In most cases - yes! Rhythm Rest is compatible with just about any instrument that's made of magnetic metal.
