Review: Great Novo China! If you have played the 2002 Novo China, then consider this a harsher, darker version. It's not louder then the 2002 Novo, but more of a raw energy. Paiste lists this as "medium" weight, but I have to believe this is more like "heavy" at least. It's a very thick, hard cymbal. Very crisp and icy sounding. Original sounding in every way. I tried even playing the bell, but nothing. It's a dead zone on this bell. However, overall I am very happy with this, it adds very musical flavor to my set up, but needs to be paired with a "standard" china IMO. Excellent must try cymbal, with a typical rude flavor!
