Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Pair of 20-inch medium-heavy hand cymbals built for marching and drum corps. For ensembles that need volume and projection outdoors.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching band and drum corps cymbal lines
- Outdoor field shows needing carry over brass
- Programs replacing worn or mismatched crash pairs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set players — these are hand cymbals, not ride/crash
- Small indoor ensembles where 20 in. overpowers
- Younger players who struggle with the weight
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
Medium heavy weight
Thicker metal takes hard crashes without cracking and cuts through a field ensemble instead of washing out.
Detail 03
Sold as a pair
Two matched cymbals for hand crashing. You are not buying one cymbal to add to a kit.
Detail 04
Stadium series
Voiced for outdoor projection rather than blend, so it stays audible at field distance.
Detail 05
Zildjian cast bronze
Cast plates hold up to repeated hard crashing and hold pitch over years of season use.

- 03Store in a bag or case — edge dings change the sound permanently
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use these on a drum set?
No. These are hand cymbals meant to be crashed together, with holes drilled for straps rather than mounted on a stand. A kit crash is a different cymbal.
02Do straps come with them?
Straps and leather pads are usually purchased separately. Confirm what ships in the box, and budget for a set if you need to play immediately.
03What is the difference between 18 in. and 20 in.?
20 in. is louder and lower pitched with more sustain, and noticeably heavier to hold. 18 in. is easier for younger players and speaks faster.
04Is medium heavy the right weight for marching?
Yes. Medium heavy handles hard outdoor crashes and projects over brass. Lighter weights are aimed at indoor orchestral playing where blend matters more.
