Nothing Else Like It!
This China just stands out from anything else that I've used. It cuts through in both a live and studio setting whilst still not sounding at all "bongy". This is a dry-sounding china but also retains a very pleasing tonality.
The only downside to this cymbal is that it can be quite prone to cracking. I'm not that much of a hard hitter, and I cracked one of these after 5 years. However, with that said, I was using a soft cymbal case, so that could have been a factor also.
All in all, once you use this, you may find it hard to use anything else!
