The Dark Buzz China was, in a word, fun. I left the wing nut loose and struck the outer lip of the China cymbal, allowing the smaller, “nesting” cymbal to rattle away—which it did for a good four seconds. Hitting the smaller cymbal gives an aggressive staccato attack with some serious body to back it up. Tightening the wing nut brings the metallic component in the mix to the fore. Mounting the stack “right side up” (that is, with the China cymbal hiding the smaller cymbal) provides a similar if somewhat more metallic sound.<br> | The Dark Buzz China was, in a word, fun.

Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Paiste’s literature describes this as the “classic splash/China stack combination.” You mount the 11" inside the inverted 18", atop any cymbal stand.(Note: You may need to adjust the size of felt you use in order to accommodate two cymbals in a space designed for one.)
The Dark Buzz China was, in a word, fun.
