New China Cymbal... New China Cymbal...

At the Guitar Center Memorial Day sale I picked up a Sabian 19 inch Paragon China cymbal (otherwise known as the best China cymbal ever made) for $160 that was a savings of over $40.

Yay for me.

Is that the one with the wide flange? I hit one of those the other day, and it was great. I'm not really a china guy, but I love that cymbal. Super trashy, and not too much of those gong-y overtones most chinas have.

sweet! china's are awesome. one of my friends added one to his drumset recently, and it's really awesome.

It can be very loud if you want it to be... It is by far the loudest thing on my kit. Yet, it can also be a subtle dark background wash.

If I had money to blow on my kit, drum heads, then crash cymbals, then toms, then another bass (two basses instead of a double pedal), then maybe one of these china cymbals.

IOW, I will never have one, but it sounds cool.

Well this completed the cymbal setup I have been growing over the last 2 years.

I now have all high end Sabian HH, AAX, AA, Paragon. 3 crashes, hi-hat, ride, splash, and now china.
