Review: "The 18" Rock china was similarly effective, though its sound was brighter and harsher than that of the regular 18" model."

Review: "The 18" Rock China was very loud, aggressive, and bright, with a long sustain. If you want more of a short white-noise effect, I'd suggest stacking a crash on it."
