Great character, slight variance
Since these are handmade, no two are exactly alike. My 19cm has a slightly quicker decay than expected, but the vintage vibe is authentic. Very happy with the purchase overall.

Studio favorite
These cymbals cut through the mix without being too bright. The 12cm is perfect for subtle accents in recording sessions. The craftsmanship is evident in every hammer mark.

Solid traditional gong sound
Bought the 21cm version. It has a deep, gong-like wash that builds up nicely. Not a typical crash, which is exactly what the description promised. Good value.

Exceeded expectations
I was hesitant about ordering handmade cymbals online, but the quality control here is impressive. The 15cm splash responds beautifully to light touches. Highly recommended.

Incredible dark tones for the price
I bought the 17cm splash and was blown away by the complexity. The black finish looks stunning on stage, and the sound is incredibly dry and fast. Perfect for jazz combos.

Beautiful aesthetic and sound
The black nickel finish is gorgeous and doesn't show fingerprints easily. Sound-wise, it's earthy and warm. Exactly what I needed for my world music project.
Q: Does the black finish wear off over time with regular playing?
A: The black nickel finish is durable, but like all plated cymbals, natural wear may occur at strike points over years of heavy use, adding to the vintage character.
Q: Are these cymbals suitable for heavy rock music?
A: These are designed for a dark, dry, and complex tone typical of jazz and fusion. While they can be used in rock, they may not provide the loud, bright cut associated with heavy rock genres.
Q: What is the difference between the 12cm and 21cm models?
A: The 12cm offers a quick, high-pitched splash with fast decay, while the 21cm provides a deeper, gong-like wash with a longer sustain and lower fundamental pitch.
Q: Do you include a cymbal bag or case with the order?
A: No, the product listing is for the cymbal only. We recommend purchasing a padded cymbal sleeve or bag separately to protect your instrument during transport.
Q: Can I select specific hammering patterns when ordering?
A: As these are handmade, each cymbal has unique hammering. We cannot select specific patterns, but we ensure every unit meets our strict quality standards for tone and balance.
