 '''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."<br>

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

 '''Review:''' "Alpha Chinas come in 14" ($175), 16" ($221), and 18" ($270) sizes. All three have squared-off bells and deep flanged edges. While not as trashy as traditional Chinese-made crashes, these accent cymbals provided a quick and explosive attack with a fairly short, hissing decay. The 18" produced the gnarliest tones, while the 14" sounded the closest to a traditional Chinese hand cymbal. Again, for a tighter and trashier accent, I'd recommend stacking some splashes or crash cymbals on top."
