This review is from: Wuhan WUSP0810 Traditional and Rock Splash Cymbal Pack

I wanted a splash cymbal for effect. I reviewed dozens of reviews for various name brands. I was struck by the positive reviews for the Wuhan pack, and so I bought it.

I agree that these cymbals are a great value -- $30 for 2 well-made cymbals is a great deal. They are very thin yet quite sturdy. I've beaten them hard, and aside from some marks from the drumstick heads, not a dent. I really like having the 2 different tones to work with. I have the 8" on top of the 10" using a cymbal stacker. While the decay is a bit longer than other splashes I've played in the past, it is quickly buried under the sound of the other drums (unlike a crash or ride).

As one review I read somewhere had put it, the sound is less like a traditional splash and a bit more like a China. It went on to say that, with use, they sound more like splashes over time. I'll have to wait and see if this is the case. In the meantime, I am very much enjoying the additional effect I get with this inexpensive duo.

I bought these splash cymbals along with several other items.

- Gibraltar Grabber Cymbal Arm

- Pacific Drums by DW P/D 700 Boom Cymbal Stand

- Gibraltar Mini Cymbal Stacker, 6 Inches

- Wuhan WUSP0810 Traditional & Rock Splash Cymbal Pack

Overall, this combination cost me just under $100 including S&H from Musician's Friend through Amazon. It was the least expensive option I could find, short of buying this equipment used.

For the price... it should be a crime that drummer's can buy these fantastic sounding cymbals for such a LOW cost! Seriously, I've compared them to hidh-end models from Zildjian, Sabian, you name it... these babies are a very welcome addition to my kit!

I have been drumming for 40+ years and have hand selected 7 Zildjians that have been serving me faithfully. I am very particular with the sound of my cymbals and would typically reject 20 before finding one with just the right sound. That said, I was on line browsing one night and happened to catch some reviews of Wuhan products. I was fascinated by the high praise and low price. After spending a couple thousand dollars on my Zildjians, I figured, at this price, if I don't like them I can give them away and not feel bad about it. Well I wound up buying the 8" and 10" splashes as well as a 12" China, and while I wouldn't replace my Zildjians with these, they are a great way to augment the tonal possibilities in any drummer's kit. So far they have held up well, look great, and have a unique pleasant sound. While all three cymbal have an oriental tonal flavor to them, they make a nice contrasting sound to my other cymbals, and nice bite, especially at the price. If I was to make a recommendation to a young drummer working on a budget, I would suggest that you save your money and get a good quality ride, crash, and set of Hi Hats. If you buy quality and pick them well, they will serve you a lifetime. Once you have your basics however, save yourself some bucks and buy Wuhan. In terms of bang for the buck, these are one of the best investments I have ever made.
