Review: "As Zildjian states, these cymbals are louder and more powerful than other types of Chinas that I have heard, but the overall sound is more pleasing and not as overbearing as the usual "trashy" China sound. They are clearer and more cutting—less of the usual white-noise sound of China types. The length of decay is relatively short, with the 18" lasting a bit longer. I found that I could play busier ride patterns on the 20", and that the 18" worked better for loud punctuations and quarter-note-type ride patterns. Both cymbals worked very well in building the intensity and climaxing through the solo sections of songs I played with the band.
Basically, these are two of the best China cymbals I've heard. They sound great within the context of a rock band. Also, I was knocked out by their recorded sound. I realize that no two Zildjian cymbals are identical, but the basic properties of these cymbals should be similar. If you're thinking about adding a China-type to your set, be sure to check these out!"
