Beautiful finish and sound
Not only do they sound amazing, but the hammered finish looks stunning under stage lights. A great addition to our ensemble.

Authentic Beijing Sound
These cymbals produce the exact sharp, cutting tone needed for traditional waist drum performances. The craftsmanship is evident in every strike.

Solid purchase
Very satisfied with the volume and clarity. The only minor issue was the packaging could be slightly more robust, but the cymbals arrived undamaged.

Great quality, needs breaking in
The copper quality is excellent. They sounded a bit stiff at first but after a week of practice, the tone has opened up beautifully.

Perfect for our dance troupe
We bought these for our cultural dance group. They are lightweight enough for long routines but loud enough to be heard over the drums. Highly recommended.

Professional grade instrument
As a music instructor, I appreciate the consistency between the pair. The pitch matches perfectly, which is rare for mass-produced items.
Q: Is the sound too bright for indoor practice?
A: They do have a penetrating projection typical of Beijing cymbals. For indoor practice, we suggest using controlled striking力度 (force) or practicing in a larger room.
Q: What is the diameter of the standard waist drum cymbals in this set?
A: The standard size included in this specific category listing is typically 14 inches (approx. 35cm), which is ideal for waist drum accompaniment.
Q: Are these cymbals suitable for beginners or only professionals?
A: While designed to professional standards, they are durable and responsive enough for beginners learning traditional waist drum techniques.
Q: How should I clean these copper cymbals?
A: We recommend using a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid harsh chemical polishes as they can remove the natural patina that contributes to the unique Beijing sound.
Q: Do these come with straps or handles?
A: No, these are sold as the cymbal plates only. Traditional cloth straps or leather handles are usually sourced separately to fit individual player preferences.
