Authentic Sound
I use these for fusion jazz projects requiring traditional Chinese elements. The medium hat cymbals cut through the mix beautifully without being too harsh. Highly recommended for professional use.

Perfect for Lion Dance
Bought the large set for our Lion Dance team. The durability is excellent even after months of outdoor performances. The resonance lasts just the right amount of time for our choreography.

Lovely Tone, Heavy Packaging
The cymbals arrived safely despite their weight. The snare cymbals have a very crisp snap. They took a few days to break in, but now they sound warm and rich. Very satisfied with the purchase.

Great Value Complete Set
The gongs and broad cymbals are fantastic. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the leather straps for the waist drum needed slight adjustment to fit our specific costumes, but the instruments themselves are perfect.

Exceptional Quality for Our Opera Troupe
We purchased this complete set for our local Beijing Opera performance group. The sound projection is incredible, and the handmade hammering gives each cymbal a unique character. The waist drum cymbals are particularly responsive.

Beautiful Craftsmanship
As a percussion instructor, I am very picky about brass quality. These cymbals are stunning visually and produce a clear, non-brassy tone. The variety in the set allows students to explore different traditional sounds.
Q: What is the diameter of the 'Large' waist drum cymbals in this set?
A: The Large waist drum cymbals typically measure between 14 to 16 inches (35-40 cm) in diameter, depending on the specific artisan batch. Exact measurements are provided in the shipment manifest.
Q: Does the set come with a carrying case?
A: The set includes protective padding and individual cloth bags for each piece, but a hard-shell rolling case is sold separately to accommodate various shipping preferences.
Q: Can I purchase just the Beijing Opera cymbals without the gongs?
A: This listing is for the complete handmade set only. However, please contact our customer service for information on purchasing individual components from our custom workshop series.
Q: Are these cymbals suitable for beginners or only professionals?
A: While designed for professional performance, the complete set is also excellent for serious students and educational groups due to its durable construction and authentic sound profile.
Q: How do I clean the brass to maintain the shine?
A: We recommend using a soft, dry microfiber cloth after every use. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized brass polish sparingly, avoiding the hammered textures where patina adds character.
