Review: "Finally we have the two chinas, a 16" and 18", which are altogether a different surprise. Far from being brash and honky, as we were expecting, in fact they were two of the smoothest chinas we've heard. There's the usual china-style attack, but with the cymbals' gently upturned edges the sound is not the usual coarse, abrasive assault, but a warmer, slinkier style of trash."

Review: "Both the 16" ($238) and 18" ($292) Classics Custom Chinas had fairly stock sounds. They hit the trashy mark, in a manner that was a bit brash due to the brightness of the B10 bronze. Their firm overtones would likely be covered up on stage in larger rooms. But don't be surprised if your bandmates start yelling at you for bringing these loud and aggressive- sounding cymbals to a small club gig or to your rehearsal space."
