"This is a good question. Are nylon washers superior to metal ones or visa versa? Nylon washers have some nice physical properties that make them superior in many industrial applications. They are good insulators (electrical appliances), are heat resistant and have low abrasion and low friction (gears and bushings). They also able to cushion impacts. Most of these properties are not exactly needed when using them on tension rods. My guess is that

1. tuning the drum is easier because you can turn the tension rod more smoothly (you can also do this with brass washers though)

2. Slight compression of the washer creates a spring effect; the washer presses back against the rod/hoop holding the rod in place

3. nylon washers avoid metal/metal contacts between hoop and washer and rod and washer thus preventing mechanical damage to the hoop and corrosion in case different typs of metal are used for these parts

4. nylon washers are supposed to be cheaper than metal washers (so how comes they are so expensive when you buy them in the drum store?)
