Review: "The new 14" model produced a very brief explosion, and not as much spread or wash as I like to hear from a China cymbal. It seemed a bit thick and thus sounded a little clangy. The 18" model, however, had much more spread (owing to its larger size) and sounded much trashier."

Review: "With a bright "kang" sound, the 14" China was a lot of fun..."
