Excellent Value for Money
Compared to other brands, Seagull offers superior tone consistency at this price point. The 15cm small cymbals are particularly crisp and responsive.

Essential for Traditional Theater
Our theater group replaced our old set with these Seagull cymbals. The projection is fantastic even in large halls without microphones. Very satisfied with the purchase.

Great Quality, Loud Projection
Bought these for a fusion music project. They are incredibly loud and bright. Be careful if you are used to western jazz cymbals; these have a very distinct traditional character.

Good but requires breaking in
The cymbals sounded a bit too harsh out of the box, but after a week of playing, the tone mellowed into a beautiful traditional sound. The Guang Bo size is impressive.

Perfect Hezi Cymbals
The craftsmanship on the Hezi cymbals is excellent. The balance is good, making them easy to play for long performances without fatigue. Highly recommended for professionals.
Q: Are these cymbals sold individually or in pairs?
A: All Seagull Brand cymbals listed in this category are sold and priced as a matched pair.
Q: Is the copper material prone to tarnishing quickly?
A: Like all untreated bronze alloys, they will develop a natural patina over time which many players prefer for a warmer sound. You can polish them with standard brass cleaner if you wish to maintain the shiny finish.
Q: What is the difference between Jing Bo and Hezi sizes?
A: Jing Bo generally refers to larger, deeper-sounding cymbals used for dramatic emphasis, while Hezi are typically smaller and higher-pitched, used for faster rhythmic patterns. We offer both in 15cm, 17cm, and 19cm options.
Q: Can I use these for a modern drum kit setup?
A: While primarily designed for Peking Opera, many percussionists use them in modern setups for specific effect sounds due to their unique, bright timbre. However, they are louder and sharper than standard splash cymbals.
Q: Do these come with cymbal straps or holders?
A: No, the package includes only the cymbal pair and a protective cloth. Straps or stands must be purchased separately according to your performance needs.
