Good but fragile
Despite quite digging the sound, I was really disappointed with the quality of those cymbals. I wanted to experiment with china cymbals a little bit and, encouraged by other reviews, I decided to pull the trigger on it. Unfortunately, each of the cymbals I received had some sort of flaw. One time it was a tiny chip at the edge or, then a small dent towards the center of the cymbal. Despite replacing the cymbal three times, none of them was was quite right. Finally, I gave up replacing, but decided to give it a try anyway.
I was pleasantly surprised with the sound of the china. It's this sort extremally enjoyable sand-like crash with fast decay that metal drummers love so much. Despite not being very loud, it cuts through the mix very well and is immensely satisfying to hit together with the snare. I would love, however, if it were more long lasting. The first one of the cymbals I bought lasted about 2-3 months, the second one has been going on for about a year, but now the crack at the edge and in the center has widened a lot and soon the cymbal will give up a ghost.
If you're okay with treating these chinas as expendable ones, as they simply won't last for a long time, or if you just want to experiment with a cheap china, you can give them a try, as the sound is really great. If you, however, are looking for something more durable, steer clear of it.
