My favorite part about it is that it sounds like trash
5/5

Have you had enough of paying an absurd amount for china cymbals that just sound There's nothing like metal when it comes to this ancient piece of In the olden days, there was a saying that every thunderous breakdown was accompanied by a cymbal cue. There is a greater breakdown if the sound is trashier. The most trash you can get out of $60 is included in this cymbal, and it will 18-page report provides an overview of Having an inch in your thigh makes you feel like a man, but with just enough length to make you feel humble. Buying it is a good decision. This is a decision that you will not regret.

I am in LOVE with the sound of this china cymbal! LOUD, LOUD, LOUD, LOUD, and absolutely perfect sounding
5/5

There is no doubt that China Cymbals are the best sounding china cymbal brand available, and they are also the cheapest. Put all my comments together with all the others found in This alone is an excellent indicator of the sound of the Amusingly, the best sounding china cymbals are from China, which may not be a coincidence. However, it does have one drawback, and that is the L O O It was instant ringing in my ears when I hit it for the first time. The truth is out there. While my previous Paiste china was louder than any of my other cymbals, this one is five times as loud, and rips at the ear drums, causing you to develop an immediate It sounds to me like it is mounted directly on my head, but in fact I think it is coming have been wearing my VF isolation headphones as a form of hearing protection since I purchased them, and that is It looks like I'll need to get used to going extra light on this one since I never do that with any of my other cymbals. I've positioned it so that it is both at the appropriate angle, as well as out of the "sweet spot" as much as possible in terms of where the proper striking point is. My hope is that you understand what I am trying to communicate. It may be helpful to dampen with painters tape or apply moon gel near the center. DUE to the cool and spectacular sound that this thing makes that it is worth it. It would be nice if Wuhan spent an extra 25 cents on printing the logo on BOTH sides of the cymbal, so I don't have to worry about it being distorted. In my opinion, it's just too bad, and a bit of a missed opportunity when it comes to brand recognition and advertising. There are other bronze alloys B20 from Wuihan that may be of interest to me. These cymbals are made using the same alloy as Zildjian, Sabian, and Meinl's higher end products. In addition to my Paiste PST 5's, I also have Paiste B8's which are made of their CuSn8 alloy. Despite the fact that the PST5's sound VERY nice for the price, they are VERY different from the more musical CuSn20/B20 alloy used in higher end cymbals, the latter being FAR more pleasing to my ear. My personal preference is for alloys such as CuSn8/B8 instead, as they sound more "clank" and cheap to me. Being frugal when it comes to drums works out, but this isn't the case with cymbals. I think drummers know that buying cymbals twice leads to a mess of wasted money. The price of these products is high due to the production process. A "Buy Once, Cry Once" saying means that you only have to buy once. Taking a look at many purchases this way is useful.

The disappointment is deep
3/5

There is a whole Wuhan set that I bought We have hats, 16" and 18" thin crashes, a 20" medium ride, and a thing like this. Each cymbal I own is my favorite (favorite) and this one is my least favorite. This dog is the best I find this ironic since you might expect gong makers to be able to make a decent Chinese In contrast to the thin crashes with their dark, smooth, and washy sounds, this china let loose with an ear slicing kang. In order to ride this thing during metal breakdowns, I wanted it to have a trashy, washy, dark sound -- sort of like a dry amplifier. This cymbal, however, left me speechless because of its harshness and loudness, as well as its lack of tonal quality. Putting the money I saved on the rest of the cymbals towards a Byzantine china will be nice. The other Wuhan cymbals have amazing sound for an AMAZING price, but this one has a very cheap sound for an AMAZING price.

The Wuhan china cymbals I have been using for 20 years have been excellent for the price I have been using it for over 10 years now, right next to my Zildjian A-7 The customs service
5/5

It is very close to the original in sound, but the price is far It is true that I break them every couple of years, but I am also breaking my Zildjians, and replacing them is way more expensive. For as long as Wuhan China continues to supply cymbals with the same sound quality, I am planning to keep using their products.

It's worth buying more than one, because you're worth it
5/5

There are no cymbals like this that make the other garbage/china cymbals feel worthy and that's because they are so inferior. There is nothing else like it. It's dark, explosive, and it comes to a perfect end. The Wuhan Temple is a place I admire greatly, and one day I hope to visit there to honor the unique individuals who HAND HAMMER these mighty My first thought was I was really lousy at drums, then I bought this. It's true that I can still don't play the drums very well, but now I've got an awesome looking china that sounds great.

What did it look like before, and was it fixed, or just a bad design? I have now bought three Wuhan cymbals online
3/5

The first one was the 12" splash and it's excellent. Specifically, the problem is with the other two Wuhan cymbals I bought and had to send them both back. As I noted in my 14" crash cymbal review, as well as this 18" china cymbal, both were between 1/4 and 3/4 of an inch shorter than their advertised sizes. It seems that both cymbals appear to have been cut down for size and then a grinder was used to smooth out the cuts, leaving a sharp square edge that would damage Aside from that, the 18" china I played didn't sound like any china I've ever heard. Rather than a bell, it sounds My search has not turned up anything of interest.

Compared to its competition, it offers a lot more value for the price
5/5

The cymbal is one of my favorites out of the 10 cymbals on my kit, having been in my collection for more than eight months now. According to other reviewers, this one cuts well on the attack, but then it falls apart after a short while. In the music that I play, I prefer this type of sound, so that I don't drown out one cymbal with the next. The sound is very loud, but you can always hit it less hard if you want to make it I would really like to see that as a china-based game If I lightly strike it, it will ride. I have not had any problems with it after With its Chinese-inspired sound, it is evocative of China. As well as looking beautiful, it is well-made. In my research before purchasing this, I saw cymbals twice, three times the price that sound worse, as well as cymbals twice, three times the price that were twice, three times the price. By far, this is the best cymbal at this price, as far as I can tell. It's awesome to be in Wuhan.

It also pairs well with the 12 "China for complementary sounds, if you have a budget and are looking to have two chinas.

I'd say that my second favorite cymbal is this one
5/5

Thin but not overly so. Cymbal number two on my list. A fair amount of fat In terms of durability, it shouldn't last for too long as long as you don't beat the bollocks out of them. Has that great, sizzling China sound, with some really uncontrollable overtones (thanks to your handwork). Metal, punk, and hXc go extremely well with this.
