Great value for professional sound
I bought the small hat cymbals for my jazz kit. They are slightly heavier than expected but produce a wonderful dark wash when played softly.

Incredible projection for folk music
These cymbals have an amazing cut that sits perfectly in our traditional ensemble. The resonance lasts just long enough without muddying the mix.

Perfect for experimental setups
The water cymbal variant creates unique textures when used with brushes. Very happy with the craftsmanship and hammering details.

Authentic Beijing style tone
As someone who grew up listening to these sounds, I can confirm these replicate the authentic Sichuan gong and cymbal timbre beautifully.

Good but requires breaking in
Out of the box they were a bit too bright for my taste, but after a week of playing they settled into a nice warm tone.

Excellent durability
I use these for loud waist drum performances and they hold up incredibly well against heavy striking. No cracks after months of use.
Q: Do these come with a carrying case?
A: The cymbals ship with protective felt washers and a cloth bag, but a hard-shell carrying case is sold separately.
Q: What is the difference between the Nao cymbals and the Small Hat cymbals?
A: Nao cymbals are typically larger with a broader, deeper boom suited for dramatic accents, whereas Small Hat cymbals are tighter and higher-pitched for rhythmic patterns.
Q: Are these cymbals suitable for a standard western drum kit?
A: Yes, while they feature traditional Chinese styling, the mounting holes are standard size and they integrate well into modern kits for unique accent sounds.
Q: Can I return these if the pitch is not what I expected?
A: Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy for unused items in original condition if the tonal character does not meet your needs.
Q: Is the bronze alloy lead-free?
A: Yes, all our professional resonant bronze cymbals are manufactured using safe, lead-free B20 bronze alloys compliant with international safety standards.
