Detail 01
Cradle, not a stand
It is the holder only. You mount it on a stand you already own, or set it on a trap table.

ZildjianHand Cymbal Cradle
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A padded cradle that holds a pair of orchestral hand cymbals upright on a stand, so a player can set them down and pick them back up mid-piece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral or wind-ensemble percussionists switching between crash pairs
- Marching or concert setups where cymbals sit next to other instruments
- Anyone tired of laying hand cymbals on a chair or the floor
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set players — this holds nothing on a kit
- Suspended-cymbal work, which needs a stand and felts instead
- Players who own one crash pair and never put it down mid-piece
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
Padded contact surfaces
Keeps the cymbal edges off bare metal, so you avoid the nicks and keyholing that dull a crash pair.
Detail 03
Holds a pair upright
Cymbals stay edge-on and separated, so you grab both straps without fumbling or clanging them together.
Detail 04
Zildjian-branded percussion accessory
Sized around standard orchestral hand cymbal pairs rather than a specific model, so most 16-20 in. pairs sit fine.
Detail 05
$127.95
Priced as a durable one-time purchase against replacing a scratched crash pair, which costs several times more.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No cymbals, straps, or pads included — those are separate
- 02Check whether it mounts on your existing stand or needs its own
- 03Measure your pair; very large or very small cymbals may sit awkwardly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with a stand?
No. The cradle is the holding hardware. Plan on mounting it to a stand you already have or placing it on a percussion table.
02Will it fit any brand of hand cymbals?
It is built around standard orchestral hand cymbal pairs, not just Zildjian. Fit depends on your cymbal diameter and how your straps are tied.
03Can I use this for drum set cymbals?
No. Kit cymbals mount on stands by the center hole. This is for strapped hand cymbal pairs played in pairs.
04Does it protect the cymbals?
The padded contact points keep edges off hard surfaces, which is the main way hand cymbals pick up nicks between pieces.
