Zildjian | All China Cymbals Showcase

A China cymbal is a specialized FX cymbal known for its raw, abrasive, and "trashy" sound that cuts aggressively through a heavy musical mix. They have an upturned rim in complete contrast to the downward slope of standard cymbals. Some are brash, some are dark, but all give that metallic sound with a fast decay, far removed from the smooth sustain of a traditional crash.
