I recently got back from Wuhan and I know that oriental sound. This is the only China that has that authentic oriental sound. (I know I have heard lots of Chinas) If this is what you want, then you need to get a Wuhan. I have an 18" and I love it. I wouldn't trade it for any other China out there. If you want a china get a Wuhan. They're the best.

This cymbal is almost scary... fantastic quality for a suspiciously low price. Very exotic sounding and has a nice choke sound. I highly recommend it for casual drummers.

I've played Sabian and Zildjian Chinas before (Sabian AA and Zildjian ZXT), but those are way overrated, if you ask me. The sound is so 'fake' compared to the deep, dark sound of the Wuhan Chinese. I just bought an 18" china and it's trashy enough to cut through the loudest mixes, even if you're not a power player. Ask any experienced musician and they'll tell you that Wuhan is where it's at. Get one today! You won't be disappointed...

I listened to a band whose drummer used only 14" hats, an 18" crash and a 12" Wuhan China. The china was so versatile and sounded great...so I bought one. This cymbal is great in the studio because of the quick response/decay plus a "broken glass" kinda sound. You just can't duplicate the sound with any other China cymbal. In my kit of 12 cymbals (other 11 are Sabian), this may be my favorite...and definitely the cheapest.

I ordered the 20" Wuhan, I am very impressed. I am a diehard Zildjian fan, but let me tell you...this Wuhan is one great china, very brash, trashy and cuts through like a knife with attitude, a definite exclamation point at the end of a rolling drum fill or anytime you want a dramatic accent. It is a beast, the harder you hit it the more she roars. If you are looking to grab attention with a different sound look no further, you just found it. Very unique in design...a true original china. Five + stars.
