Sounds amazing for the Price!
Lewan 20.09.2022
I recently bought this to add a second china to my kit, and to my surprise it sounds amazing! It is surprisingly loud and shrill for the size, however it sounds great on recordings. The only downside I can think of about it is likely the fact that it does not seem the most durable. It picks up stick marks easily and the same with finger marks, although despite that I have not had any major issues with it bending or cracking, and I play mostly metal so I hit fairly hard. Another thing to mention is that it does not work well for stacks, as it has a really big bell, making it difficult to use unless you have access to a hi-hat stand. Either way I would most recommend this to anyone who needs a loud and trashy china for little money.

Well worth the price
Andy McKenna 02.04.2022
Deciding not to go for obvious choices like Sabian and Zildjian, I thought I'd see what other brands are around. I seen some reviews of Zultan cymbals and thought I'd try them.
I REALLY like this china! It's just the sound I was looking for and I certainly wasn't expecting that for the price. The workmanship could be a little better on it but, it's a cymbal that's designed to be smacked, not a piece of fine art.

My First China
Reeceq96 08.10.2017
This is my first china cymbal so I dont have much to go on. The only others I have played myself are the Zildjian Oriental and the Sabian XS20 but I feel this holds up. I really enjoy the tone it offers

Really clunky, pingy sound with far too strong a decay
Lmliddane 10.04.2022
Far too harsh and pingy sounding, feels far too heavy for a China cymbal, didn’t give me the washy, trashy sound I was looking for. Sounds more like a cracked ride than a China

PoorMans China

As soon as it arrived, my first impression was CHEAP. From unfinished body to very wavy edges. At least 12 deformations and impurities were visible on the metal surface.

Bunch of small deformations were visible, running from the edges towards the center of the cymbal, which will very soon bee cracks.
Maybe I got the faulty piece.

Wouldn't recommend. I immediately returned the product.

good

my 1st china, sounds suprizingly good for a 16".
Quite loud and raw, feels at home in hardcore breakdowns, occasional accents, and certain rythm sections.
Unfortunately developed a 5cm crack in the outer ring, after half a year, weekly abuse.

Good budget china.
Cameron A. 12.09.2020
Traditional lion style china with a natural finish. Typical dry and trashy sound. Be aware the bell profile will be awkward to stick with other cymbals in a case. Would work great for orchestral percussion.
