'''Review:''' "The 18" China had a shimmering attack that didn't hurt to listen to. It cut extremely well, and the sound didn't distort when I really laid into it. What this cymbal lacked, in my opinion, were some of the lower overtones that make an 18" China trashy and deep. The entire Fusion line seems to be about a certain amount of cleanliness, and this cymbal falls in line with the rest of the series. But I prefer some more grit in my China crash, regardless of the setting. If you're looking for a pristine China sound, though, this would be a good way to go." <br> | '''Review:''' "The 18" China had a shimmering attack that didn't hurt to listen to.

'''Review:''' "The single Fusion china is an 18" model with a wide upturned flange. Tapped with a stick, it answers with a dry, trashy note. Hitting it full-on brings out an altogether more violent reaction, flaring into life with a furious bark. While it's not the darkest china I've heard, it packs quite a punch." | '''Review:''' "The single Fusion china is an 18" model with a wide upturned flange.
