Nice for specific things

I like chinas 01.10.2019

Very affordable, great trashy and aggressive china sound, but tend to break easily. There isn't much consistency from one cymbal to the next, you can buy two of these and get very different sounding cymbals. Not suitable for stacking due to the bell shape and size, unless you have a hi-hat stand to mount it on.

For the price, good cymbals, but be prepared to buy these more often than more expensive ones. At least for me that's been the case, I've had probably around 15 Wuhan/Zultan/Thomann chinas (they're pretty much the same) in sizes from 14" to 18" and they've all broken within a year or so.

My opinion is very controversial but you will see.
About the cymbal ? we have to put down some finish expectation , this is a traditional or popular market Wuhan (China) material , it means that if you care to much about finish please don't buy it because you'll need to correct some finish and do some esthetic job.
BUT!!! if you want a real CHINA sound and not something beautiful who only imitate the real sound !! this cymbal is for you.

Great value!

Not the best china in the world of course, but the price made me expect a whole lot less. I've only used it for practice so far and that works just fine.
I guess the true test will be actually recording it. And how long it will last.
I figured the price was so low if it was bad, I wouldn't be out much.
Pleasantly surprised though.

Anyway, if your on a budget, this might be it.

Does the trick and nothing more

I wanted to buy an entry level China for my drum set and this is pretty much spot on when looking at it that way.

Compared to the cymbals that come with the Millennium set, it is a leap in quality.

It has a good initial transient, but not quite as cutting when used in a metal setting for example. The general texture is a washy and trashy screech with more low end than I would personally like. The sustain is pretty much the only sonic quality that compares to more expensive china cymbals, but that is more due to the nature of china cymbals in general not having sustain as a focal point.

It got me through a decent number of gigs and I can totally hear it in a recording of any genre, but it's nothing face melting.
