Review: "The Innovations line features 16" and 18" medium China cymbals. Here again, the overall "tonal" theme of the line focuses on a heavier sound. The Chinas produce a full-bodied, powerful, and "dirty" punch. Each model offers an excellent, trashy wash, and each provides a nice variety of tones depending on the positioning of the cymbal and the angle of stick attack. They both display a rich, Oriental tone, and they really explode when hit sharply. These babies will cut through a wall of guitar amps with no problem."
