    Bought the 18in. This cymbal is loud! I'd say has a moderate sustain, and is semi-dark. This china sounds better (in my opinion) used basically how you'd use a crash. I think it sounds better as a one hit accent than used as a main cymbal for say a breakdown. I dont think it is washy/trashy enough for that. Great alternative for a crash, adds a great dynamic to any kit.

    I buy the 16" and is perfect! very explosive, versatile, full and it have a weird bright//dark sound but is really beauty, it have a quick sustain and the "Well suited for softer volume" is wrong, with mics is perfect for ALL kinds of music, it worth every penny!
