Review: "Next was an 18" China cymbal, which we felt was one of the strongest of the lot. It was very "trashy" and Chinese sounding, and had a quick attack with fast decay, making it good for short, loud punctuations. It was a little too trashy for fast ride patterns, but could work for quarter-note rides."
