I own one for about two years, and it sounds amazing! Not only a great china, this is a very versatile effect cymbal:

When crashed it produces a quick and trashy sound - just perfect!
Also try riding on it on the middle part: it can add a rather interesting flavor in softer playing situations, like contemporary jazz (who said china cymbals are heavy metal use only?).
Finally, make a single-stroke roll with mallets on it and you will feel the power of the ancient china in your hands!

Add the extremely low cost and you simply cannot beat this cymbal!

For the price, these are great accessory cymbals that you can't pass up. I actually use the 16" Wuhan as a bottom for the hi-hat for a really trashy sound. Up close it's really brash but on tape or in the audience it blends nicely. Great for punchy accents. Very, very trashy.

i got this china cymbal about 3 days ago and i must say it has a great sound/tone to it. It has a quick trashy sound like i wanted and at a terrific price.i also read complaints that people felt it was kinda flimsy but mine is sturdy and survives the beating it gets.

it sounds great easy to add into what your playing. the only bad thing it kills your sticks still a great china cymbal

I liked the size of the cymbal, but the sound was a bit tinny.

Any drummer/percussionist looking to add an outstanding accent cymbal will be blown away! Years ago I owned one that I loved, but unfortunatley it was stolen from a rehersal room. All of my Sonor drums were in the room, but they took the cymbal!(?) I didn't think they made Wuhans anymore - I'm super psyched! Wuhans have a real gong/trash sound and the 16" - 18" are pitched high enough and decay fast for explosive accents. Like a firecracker when popped with the snare, but sticking lightly like a ride cymbal, they have dark, low overtones that give you a whole new "Asian" pallette. I heard about these from researching Neil Peart's cymbal configuration. I was so impressed with his distinctive china sound and discovered he plays Wuhans. You absolutely cannot beat this cymbal for the $$$!!

I bought a wuhan 16 inch china cymbal i noticed none of these cymbals sound the same every cymbal that is made has a different sound. same type, size and all... i am satisfied with it but it is all covered in that goldyish color except by the center it looks like they missed a spot

this cymbal is awful. really awful. i wanted a fun toy cymbal, a neat little accent to play around with, but this thing is not usable in almost any situation. the price is great but the sound is just terrible. you might like it, anything is possible, but this time i have to tell you to try before you buy.

Sounds just like a china, thrashy and trashy!!!!
And at a price that can't be beat!!!

like others have said, this is a good cymbal for the money. It has that great trashy sound thats awesome for metal drumming and the like but let me tell you, this this will eat up a set of sticks in no time.
