Exceeded expectations
The traditional black finish is not just paint; it seems to be part of the metal treatment. Sounds warm yet bright. Highly recommend for percussionists looking for something different.

Authentic Sound for Traditional Pieces
These cymbals have exactly the sharp, piercing cut needed for our Beijing Opera reenactments. The black finish looks stunning under stage lights.

Loud and clear
Very loud for their size. The 19cm version projects really well in a large hall. Just be careful with your stick technique as they are sensitive.

Perfect for cultural performances
Bought these for a university cultural festival. They arrived well-packaged and sounded incredible right out of the box. No break-in period needed.

Great splash effect
I use the 15cm pair as a splash in my jazz fusion setup. They decay quickly and add a unique texture. Slightly heavier than modern splashes but worth it.

Beautiful craftsmanship
You can tell these are handmade. The hammer marks are visible and consistent. The sound is very responsive to dynamic changes.
Q: Do these come with a mounting hole drilled?
A: Yes, both sizes come with a standard center hole suitable for most cymbal stands and traditional rope mounting systems.
Q: Is the 15cm size too small for a rock band setting?
A: While designed for traditional music, the 15cm size works well as a secondary splash effect in rock. For primary accents, the 19cm might project better in a loud mix.
Q: Can I use standard drum sticks with these?
A: Yes, standard wooden drum sticks work perfectly. However, many traditional players also use specialized bamboo sticks for a softer attack.
Q: How do I clean the black finish without damaging it?
A: We recommend only using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Do not use cymbal cleaners or polishes as they will remove the traditional black patina.
Q: Are these cymbals sold individually or as a pair?
A: These cymbals are sold as a matched pair, which is traditional for Beijing Opera percussion.
