wuhan china 14'

Review Date: December 31, 2009

Reviewer: Claudia A. Wade,

I bought the Wuhan China (14 inches) off of amazon.com. I recieved it today, it sounds exactly like it should. Very dark, trashy, perfect for a double bass pattern and/or heavy rock music. The handle that you put on the stand is not like others, it is an out-dent and no matter what you do it tilts. The cymbal also looks very used but that's because its hand hammered in china, which also means it is very thin. because it's so thin, it will probably break fairly quickly but hey, its twenty bucks and some purchases come with a free one so its easly replaced. Either way, this is a must have cymbal if your a hard rocker

Bought this cymbal sight unseen for my sister. She loved it. It makes a trashy midrange clang of odd harmonics that will stop any musically harmonious sound in its tracks. She laughed for five minutes when she first heard it and I knew we had a hit. I think it was her favorite of the six cymbals I gave her.

Unique sound.

Like any instrument, you need to hear it before buying and/or hear how it fits with your other cymbals/percussion instruments. Each cymbal has unique chararistics/overtones, etc.
As for a generic review, very china-like sounding (or at least the one I received.)

Sick!

Reviewer: ,

For those who need something trashy and raw for their kit, this cymbal is the answer to your prayers. The 12" china cymbal is a best buy because of it's nice round price, but personally, I think it's a little too small to produce a full, rich tone. The 18" and larger Wuhans are just too big to get a quick-decaying, yet delicate sound and feel from. The 16" is also a pretty good buy, and sounds/feels great. But this 14" has got be my favorite of them all. It's small enough to be "compact", and seems to produce the fullest sound out of all the chinas in the wuhan product line. What's more, the price is still very reasonable. But, I mean, come on...it's 15 bucks, there have to be some flaws to it, right? Unfortunately there are. Wuhan's, being as dark and explosive as they are, must be hand hammered to a thin little pulp of a cymbal. Therefore, the cymbal's thickness is actually very thin and fragile. Heavy usage will cause the cymbal to bend or crack within a matter of months. The catch 22 is that the cymbal's tone is very trashy and aggressive, which is suitable for very loud music. Therefore, you'll probably be using it often for the most abusive, heaviest types of drumming- the type of drumming that breaks cymbals. So yeah, there's my 2 cents. But I say that it's still a good buy, a you can always buy another without having to save up for a long time, and still get that great dark tone.
