This china sends chills down my spine with every stroke. it has such a great trashy sound and so much brash i nearly tear up at its beauty =D. i just bought it from a local dealer, and i have to say its one of the best cymbals ive ever owned. so far it has done nothing but pleased me. I think anyone who has broken theirs has either tightened it far too much, or had it bell-side up, which is always a no-no with any china. but still, this china is loud, bright, and damn brutal. i definatley recommend it.

I honestly think that the people that have cracked their chinas have played too hard. It's a great sounding china, very explosive and great for trashy moments. Also, look on Zildjian's web site. The thickness is "thin," which means be careful haha. Great cymbal overall!

I didnt like this one much. Its not too loud and it just not enough china for me. I prefer a ZBT china over this one, screams like a champ. Look around, mix and match.

I cracked this cymbal within a matter of months. It may just be me but this cymbal does not last. Great sound though when it functions.

Good China, but expensive. I had mine for about 5 months and then it cracked, about a 1.5' crack, and it happened instantly. You can always hear when a cymbal cracks, it rattles, so it was strange when a crack that large appeared that quickly. Oh well. Thank goodness for warrantys. Good cymbal, GREAT sound. Breaks too easily...
