Strong match

Who this is for

  • Marching band cymbal lines on the field
  • Drum corps players wanting a manageable 16-inch size
  • Indoor percussion where a smaller pair stays controllable

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drum kit players; these are hand-held, not stand-mounted
  • Orchestral sections wanting a single suspended cymbal
  • Players needing maximum volume over a large field

Detail 01

Sold as a pair

Two matched cymbals for hand-to-hand crashes. You do not need to buy a second one.

Detail 02

16 inch

Smaller and lighter than 18-inch pairs. Easier to hold through a long show, with less raw volume.

Detail 03

Marching design

Meant for hand-held playing with straps, including visuals and flat crashes, not stand mounting.

Detail 04

A series

Zildjian's long-running bronze line, so matching or replacing a single cymbal later is straightforward.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Do straps come with these?

Straps and pads are commonly sold separately. Check with your program before ordering, since many schools standardize on one strap type.

02Can I mount one on a stand?

You can, but marching pairs are weighted for hand-held crashing. A suspended cymbal is the better choice for stand use.

0316 or 18 inch for marching?

16-inch is lighter and easier to control through a full show. 18-inch gives more volume and sustain on a large field.

04Is the price for one or both?

Both. This is sold as a matched pair of two cymbals.
