Exceeded expectations

Bought the small size for a student ensemble. They are responsive enough for beginners but high quality enough for advanced players.

Authentic Xidian quality

As a professional percussionist, I can confirm these are made with traditional techniques. The sustain is impressive without being muddy.

Perfect for our opera troupe

These cymbals have the exact sharp crack we need for Peking Opera performances. The handcrafted quality is evident in the consistent tone.

Great sound, needs breaking in

Initially a bit stiff, but after a week of practice, the brass responded beautifully. Excellent projection for waist drum routines.

Good value for handcrafted items

The finish is slightly rustic which adds to the character. Sound is bright and clear, ideal for Sichuan opera styles.

Durable and loud

Used these for an outdoor festival. They cut through the noise of the crowd perfectly. Very happy with the purchase.

5 FAQ

Q: How should I clean these brass cymbals?

A: We recommend using a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints. Avoid harsh chemical polishes as they may alter the natural patina and sound characteristics of the handcrafted brass.

Q: Can these be used for modern fusion music or only traditional opera?

A: While designed for traditional opera, their bright and cutting tone makes them versatile for modern fusion, world music, and experimental percussion setups.

Q: What is the difference between the large and small sizes?

A: The large size offers deeper resonance and longer sustain, suitable for grand performances. The small size provides a sharper, quicker attack, ideal for fast-paced rhythmic sections.

Q: Do these cymbals come with leather straps for waist drums?

A: No, the cymbals are sold individually without straps. However, they feature standard holes compatible with most traditional leather mounting straps.

Q: Is there a warranty against cracking?

A: Yes, all Xidian cymbals come with a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in material and workmanship, including cracking under normal playing conditions.
