Review: "I found their 18" china too be tinny but in the nicest possible way. I couldn't discern too much undertone, and strangely it sounded more or less the same whether upside down, or downside up! "

Review written by Bob Henrit ("Istanbul Cymbals", International Musician & Recording World, December 1986)

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."
