Detail 01
Flanged design
The flared base keeps the cymbal hole off the metal and stops it dropping down onto the threads.

GibraltarSC-19B Flanged Cymbal Sleeves (4 pk.)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Four-pack of flanged cymbal sleeves. For any drummer whose cymbals sit on bare metal tilter rods or have lost their original sleeves.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing torn sleeves before a cymbal keyholes
- Restocking a gig bag with spares for stand hardware
- Setting up secondhand stands that arrived without sleeves
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hi-hat clutch positions that need their own dedicated parts
- Stands with a tilter rod thicker than the sleeve bore
- Anyone wanting a stand, felt, or wing nut in the box
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
4-pack
Covers a hat, ride, and two crashes on a basic kit. Larger setups need a second pack.
Detail 03
Sleeve only
Felts, washers, and wing nuts are separate. A sleeve alone will not stop metal-on-metal at the top.
Detail 04
$4.49
Far cheaper than a keyholed cymbal, so treat these as a consumable and swap them when they split.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your tilter rod diameter fits the sleeve bore
- 02Felts and wing nuts are not included
- 03Sleeves are consumable and split over time, so keep spares
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What do cymbal sleeves actually do?
They separate the cymbal's mounting hole from the threaded metal rod. Without one, the hole wears oval over time, which is called keyholing and cannot be undone.
02Will these fit my stand?
They fit standard cymbal tilter rods. If your stand uses an unusually thick or thin rod, measure it against the sleeve bore before ordering.
03Can I use these on a hi-hat?
The bottom hat seat and clutch use their own parts. These are for cymbal stand tilter rods.
04How often should I replace them?
When you see splits, tears, or the flange chewed through. A torn sleeve stops protecting the hole, and replacing it costs a fraction of a cymbal.
