Yes, I was chatting with a chinese percussionist last year (not a 'western' percussionist from China, he played chinese instruments) and he was telling me that the style of hammering used on Chinese cymbals is specifically meant to make them trashy and loud. Having the upturned edge is apparently fairly common among both modern and traditional chinese instruments.

Perhaps what I read in a 'History of the drumset' article wasn't entirely accurate Luke "The only free cheese is in the mouse-trap"

Where was the article, Luke? If it was online, do you have a link?

No it was in an Australian issue of 'Drumscene' from memory, I can't seem to locate it though Luke "The only free cheese is in the mouse-trap"

Well we can all be right. It is entirely possible that chinese cymbals were named for their sound, and it happens to also be the way the Chinese make traditional cymbals. "Wagner's music is much better than it sounds." - Mark Twain

I've really wanted to try an 18" El Sabor to use as a crash/ride on my micro-kit Luke "The only free cheese is in the mouse-trap"

Ive been using the same Zildjian 20 inch Low china since 1986. Still sounds great and I actually use it often during an evening, tastefully of course. I also have a Wuhan 12 inch china, Love how fast the sound dissapates... sounds high and nasty but goes away in a flash.

I use a china a lot. Mine is a Sabian AAXtreme 18". It has a little longer decay, but doesn't linger TOO long. I would like to have a 12" Wuhan as well for certain things, but it's not worth the extra setup time. Lee
