Too loud for small studios
The sound is authentic, but be warned: these are very loud and cutting. They might overwhelm a small home recording setup without proper dampening.

Perfect size for marching
The 15cm option is perfect for our marching ensemble. Lightweight enough to carry for long periods but still projects well outdoors.

Great for fusion projects
I bought the 19cm version for a world music fusion band. The tone is unique compared to standard western splash cymbals. Very happy with the purchase.

Beautiful aesthetic
Aside from the great sound, the visual appeal of the handmade texture and black finish is incredible. A real conversation starter on stage.

Excellent quality bronze
The Nao copper material feels substantial and durable. The black finish looks stunning under stage lights. Highly recommended for traditionalists.
Q: Can these be used for modern rock music?
A: While designed for traditional Beijing opera, many modern drummers use them for specific effect shots due to their unique, trashy, and cutting tone.
Q: How should I clean these cymbals?
A: We recommend wiping them with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemical polishes as they may damage the traditional black finish and alter the sound.
Q: Is the black finish painted or natural?
A: The black finish is a traditional oxidation treatment applied during the crafting process, not a surface paint. It is durable and part of the cymbal's character.
Q: Does this cymbal come with a mounting stand?
A: No, the package includes only the cymbal itself. You will need to purchase a compatible cymbal stand separately.
Q: What is the difference between the 15cm and 19cm models?
A: The 15cm model offers a higher pitch and quicker decay, ideal for fast rhythms. The 19cm model provides a deeper tone with slightly longer sustain, suitable for dramatic accents.
