Detail 01
8 mm
The stand post diameter, not the cymbal hole. Measure your stand thread before ordering — 6 mm posts will not hold these.

Sound Percussion LabsCymbal Sleeve 4-Pack 8 mm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Four 8 mm cymbal sleeves from Sound Percussion Labs. The plastic barrier between your cymbal's bell hole and the metal stand thread.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing split or missing sleeves before a cymbal keyholes
- Stocking spares — these tear and disappear more than any other part
- Setting up a kit where sleeves were lost in transport
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Stands with a post size other than 8 mm
- Anyone who also needs felts — those are a separate purchase
- Drummers wanting a specific sleeve length for a tilter
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
Plastic sleeve
Keeps the cymbal hole off the threaded rod. Without one, the thread saws at the hole and elongates it.
Detail 03
4-pack
Four cymbal positions, one sleeve each. Enough for hats, ride, and two crashes on most kits.
Detail 04
$3.99
Low enough to keep a spare set in the hardware bag permanently.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your stand post diameter — this is the 8 mm version

- 03A split sleeve still on the stand can look intact — pull it off and inspect
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know if my stand takes 8 mm sleeves?
Measure the threaded post the cymbal sits on. 8 mm is the common size on most modern stands; older or lighter stands sometimes use 6 mm.
02What happens if I run a cymbal without a sleeve?
The threaded metal rod cuts into the cymbal's bell hole, elongating it into a keyhole shape. That damage is permanent and hurts resale value.
03Do these come with felts?
No, sleeves only. Order felts separately.
04Should I replace all my sleeves at once?
If they're the same age, yes. They fail from the same wear, so one split usually means the rest are close behind.
