5.0 out of 5 stars Not too big...Not too small either, February 2, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: WUHAN WU104-14 China Cymbal 14-Inch Gong (Electronics)

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.

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.
