Review: "We tested two of the four China cymbals in Tosco's line: a 16" model and an 18" Full model. (Also available are 18" and 20" Chinas.) The smaller cymbal is thinner, and it offers a very quick, splashy explosion, with a brash, loud sound. It'd be good for "in your face" quick punctuations. On the other hand, if you wanted a big, sustained, gongy sort of China sound, you'd want to opt for the 18" Full China. It offers a much darker, low-pitched tonality than the 16", with less explosiveness—but a bigger, richer overall sound. Neither cymbal was as "trashy" as some more esoteric China types, but they might actually have broader appeal for that reason."
