Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 19" china has a small squared bell and broad, upturned rim. Lots of chinas are hideously brash, like a dustbin lid explosion and little else, but this one has a wider, deeper, darker sound and a phenomenal amount of sustain when you play the edge. The dual surface again extends the ride possibilities.

The brilliant section is slightly smaller on this cymbal than on the others, but when you play here with your stick tip you get a high-pitched, brittle ping. Crash the cymbal anywhere on its surface and it is obviously attacking and strident, but the relatively deep and musical K Custom tone makes up for any harshness."
