17 crash sounds bad, and it came with imperfections.

I had a sabian XS20 before this that I really had to beat on to get it sounding right for breakdowns (definitely why it broke). This thing is so damn loud. It literally hurts. Gets everyone to shutup at practice. I love it 😀

This is my first China cymbal, and I'm amazed by both the aesthetic and the sound quality. A fine addition to my kit. Having shipped from Osaka, Japan--it arrived a week sooner before the expected arrival date. Would recommend!

I switched from Sabian to Soultone, and now Meinl. These Dark Classics are awesome. Perfect cut sound and ring. My band, Skyline Red, just finished recording 5 songs with these beautiful cymbals, which should launch by 2023 on all steaming platforms.Very happy with these cymbals.

This thing is pretty BA for the price. Nice 90s metal trash clash sound. I’m happy

I use this China on my road drum kit. Gets lots of abuse and sound good for the money.
