Wuhan 18" China
Review: "These sizes were among the best sounding of all the Chinas Wuhan sent. They are available in medium and thin weights, and like the 12" Chinas, the thin models were quite a bit lower in pitch than the mediums. The sound these cymbals produced was loud, brash, and penetrating, with just enough sustain to carry them to the ear, but not enough to be overbearing. These would be most effective as punctuation crashes to "break out" of already loud sound levels. I wouldn't use these sizes for riding on except for medium tempo, quarter-note ride patterns. Anything faster would be washed out. "
