Detail 01
18 inch diameter
The standard concert suspended size. Long enough decay for a slow swell, still responsive to a fast entrance.

1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
18-inch suspended cymbal for orchestral and concert band use, played with mallets on a stand. For a percussion section or a school ensemble.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band and orchestra percussion sections
- Sustained mallet rolls under a wind ensemble
- School or university percussion cabinets needing a standard 18-inch suspended
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set players — this is not a crash or ride
- Anyone needing a cymbal stand, mallets, or a cymbal cradle included
- Marching field use — orchestral suspended cymbals are voiced for indoor halls
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
Suspended, not a pair
Mounted on a stand and struck with mallets or sticks. It is not one half of a crash pair.
Detail 03
Orchestral voicing
Built for a smooth swell that builds and fades rather than an immediate loud attack.
Detail 04
Sold as a single cymbal
One cymbal only. Crash pairs and stadium pairs are separate purchases.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand included — you need a suspended cymbal stand or gooseneck arm
- 02Yarn or cord mallets are a separate purchase and change the sound more than the cymbal does
- 03Use a felt washer and sleeve so the cymbal swings freely and does not crack
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a drum set?
You can mount it, but it is voiced for orchestral swells, not drum set crashes. A set-specific crash will respond better to stick attacks.
02Does it come with a stand?
No. You need a suspended cymbal stand or gooseneck arm, plus a felt washer and sleeve.
03What mallets should I use with it?
Yarn or cord suspended cymbal mallets for rolls and swells. Harder mallets give a brighter, more immediate attack.
04Is one cymbal enough, or do I need two?
One. A suspended cymbal is played alone on a stand. Two-cymbal crash pairs are a different instrument.
