Does anyone know where you can purchase them online?? I never did know the actual name of them me and my friends always called them honeycombs.If you dont know what I'm talking about, they go on the bottom of the strap so the knot of the cymbal doesn't come out when playing.Any help would be appreciated!

I believe you are referring to grommets. You can find them on Steve Weiss Music:

tie the know around a penny.

A grommet is also the little metal ring around the inside edge of the strap/stand hole.

Im pretty sure the only straps that worth with the american drum grommets are the american drum ones.

so youll need to buy the enitre set.

Grommets are what goes inside the hole of a cymbal so that the straps don't tear. What you are talking about are lock washers, which look like honeycombs. Check out my cymbal straps from American Drum.

Pennies work okay but they can slip out after use.
