Review: "In the case of the Chinas, I think the quality level of the Paiste Sound Alloy is working against the cymbals. I've stated before that China cymbals from the expensive lines of most manufacturers don't sound very— well, Chinese. The trashy, abrasive sound of a China cymbal seems to be better produced by cheaper, less musical alloys. In the case of the SFR Chinas, they are high-pitched and clear, as would be expected from this line. But they don't have the washy, bottom-end, almost-broken characteristics that usually define the "Chinese" sound. So although the SFR Chinas were loud and clear, they wouldn't be my first choice in terms of acoustic authenticity."
