Beautiful aesthetic and sound
The dark copper color is gorgeous. They respond instantly to light touches and can also handle heavy strikes without washing out.

Great character, needs breaking in
Out of the box, they were a bit stiff, but after a week of playing, the tone opened up beautifully. The antique finish looks stunning on stage.

Good quality but very loud
The craftsmanship is solid, but be warned: these are incredibly loud and bright. Not suitable for quiet studio recording unless you have great isolation.

Unique texture for modern fusion
I use the 19cm pair for my fusion band. They cut through heavy guitar riffs effortlessly. The hand-hammered marks give them a very organic feel.

Perfect for Beijing Opera practice
As a professional percussionist, I appreciate the authenticity of these Naobo style cymbals. The balance between the two cymbals in the pair is excellent.
Q: Is the patina finish durable or will it wear off?
A: The antique patina is chemically treated and sealed to be durable. Normal playing wear will occur over time, which many musicians find adds to the character of the instrument.
Q: What is the difference between the 12cm and 21cm models?
A: The 12cm model offers a higher pitch and faster decay, ideal for rapid rhythmic patterns, while the 21cm provides a deeper, more resonant crash with slightly longer sustain.
Q: Can these be used with standard drum sticks?
A: Yes, they work well with standard wooden drum sticks. However, for authentic traditional sound, many players prefer using specialized bamboo or hardwood beaters.
Q: Do these come as a matched pair or individually?
A: These are sold as a matched pair to ensure consistent tone and weight balance for traditional playing techniques.
Q: Are these suitable for outdoor performances?
A: Absolutely. Their bright and cutting projection makes them excellent for outdoor settings where sound needs to carry over distance without amplification.
