Review: "Three Power China cymbals are included in the Dimensions lineup. The 18" model gives a trashy crash with a quick decay. The 20" model has a similar character but is much brighter in tone. The 22" model retains the brightness of the 20", but adds dark overtones as well. This cymbal produces a wide tonal palette and could take the place of a small gong. This is particularly true when it's played with mallets in a single-strike or rolling manner. Playing on the downward-turned edge of the cymbal produces the best example of this sound.
But don't forget about the "power" in Power Chinas. They're big cymbals, with plenty of explosive volume and penetration. And although they're by no means thin, you don't have to slam them to get them to speak out forcefully. It's in their nature to do so."
