Sharp character and explosive - yet controlled sustain, with a good dynamic range. This is what makes this a reliable cymbal in any environment and setting. A great accent cymbal to cut all the way through all rumbling, humming and shimmering frequencies or just to improve the range of nuances.

A cheap sounding china, BUT, it fits in so many styles, and it still sounds good in the context of a busy mix, I have tracked drums with this china being played and mixed the tracks and it sounded really nice, delivers the evil whack sound I was looking for.

As the name implies this cymbal is for fast, blast patterns. It is a perfect complement to Rude China 18", they work well together. It is explosive, dirty and a little bit metallic too. It is made and hammered in Switzerland. I love its raw character.

Lotta people will compain about this cymbal breaking - it's thin construction contributes a sharp in then out attack with little sustain. But what do you expect if you're a metal drummer or a hard hitter using this cymbal - it is going to break quickly. It is like eating McDonalds burgers everyday for two months and feeling unhealthy, of course it's going to break quicker than most cymbals. But the sound you will get from this is totally worth it.

This China produces a great sound that cuts through from most drum line. However, because it is so thin, it can get dented easily if you get your technique wrong when you're a hard hitter. This China makes a sound very similar to the one used in Metallica's "And Justice For All", although it only does so at medium to low volumes. Because of its size, the decay is very sharp, even though this is one of the things I love about it! If you aren't a particularly hard hitter, but want to experiment on the cheap, I highly recommend it. A great alternative to this is the "Zultan 14" China Yin Series" which performs much better at higher volumes, for harder hitters.
