I've been playing drums for a few years now and got my first china cymbal, a Wuhan 18" for like $40 which sounds very nice with ear protection (i think it cuts off some frequencies or something whatever).
It has a hole forming in it from the beating i've put into it that hasn't completely cracked through yet, but i decided it's time to get a new one.
I went to the drum store nearby and got a zildjan zbt 18" china for like $90. It sounds nice, but feels and sounds like more of an effect cymbal than a china to me, meaning it rings out more and is quieter than the Wuhan.
The Wuhan is probably my loudest cymbal.
The OTHER cymbals on my kit are a Paiste 16" crash prob medium thick,
18" zildjan crash/ride uber thick, lots of fun,
and a Sabian B8 20" rock ride i think.
I also have a pair of 14" avanti red hi hats that look kool.
Just so you guys have an idea of what i'm working with here, they all are able to be heard when i play on them so even volume all round.
I play a LOT of metal, more into the new wave of metal, math/djent/progressive such things.
So i'm wondering where to go from here, Wuhan sounds nice, it's a tight sound good for breakdowns and such in metal but i'm thinking of looking for something else that sounds better and similar.
My budget is roughly around $100 give or take mayb like $50, i know i can get a really good china for like $300+ but i'm not going there.
Thanks for listening!
