Amir
- Harsh, exotic, metallic China sound. Short and explosive.(1)
I
- Focused, trashy attack. Responsive thin weight. Great way to expand your sound. (9)
Impulse
- Exotic metallic crash. Loud volume, intense tone. Wide range of sounds around the cymbal. Initial attack projects. Doubles as unique ride cymbal. (5)
K Zildjian
- Dark, exotic China sound. "K" hammering produces low-pitched, "trashy" sound with extremely fast decay.(2)
Planet Z
- Bright, trashy and fast. Delivers that classic china sound. Great for accents. Cutting, bright tones. (8)
S
- Sharp and explosive, S Family china cymbals add a bright and trashy tone color that works well for big hits and accents. Speaks quickly with a short sustain. (6)
S Dark
- Add some raw energy to your kit with the S Dark China, which explodes with trashy tone colors and is tailor-made for landing big hits and accents. These chinas are lower-pitched, randomly hammered for extra trash, and have a shorter sustain that dries out quickly. (7)
Scimitar Bronze
- Superb cutting 'china' sound. Fast decay. Excellent bright yet trashy characteristics. (4)
Z Zildjian
- Powerful, loud aggressive China sound. Maximum explosive potential.(3)
