I anticipate that this china and splash will last for quite some time.

Sound
I have been using Wuhan Chinas and Splashes for over 15 years. The range of sounds that I can extract from these cymbals have enabled me to utilize these pieces in a wide variaety of settings from recording scenarios to stage performance. I have also found that these cymbals have a bit of a "Break-In" Period as moving from one new cymbal to the next will be slightly different than the former due to the individual workmanship. If you are a consistenly a hard hitter, these may not be for you.

Features
I would like to see a better range of size choice within the cymbal pack such as mixing and matching China size and splash size. For instance, I use a 18" and 12" China and 6" 8" and 10" splashes. when opting for replacement, it would be codusive for me to be able to take adavatnge of the value of the pack but to further customize the size range.

Ease of Use
Wunhan products can be tricky; For example my previous 18" china was thinner on the outlying ridge of the cymbal that the one I just received. As I will play different parts of the cymbal depending on the feel of the song, a thicker edge responds with a more wet "gong" than a dryer "shimmer". Thus when receiving the new cymbal, I made some adjustments regarding felts in the bell to reduce the sustain of the "gong" sound. Experiment, its worth the time taken read more to find the sound you are looking for.

Quality
This is my third Wuhan China in 15 years, if that gives you any indication of the product durability. Yes, they are of a less inexepensive value, however as long as you aware that the cymbal can and will break at some point depending on your playing style,you will be fine.

Value
Value is what enticed me to try and currently use Wuhan Products.

The Wow Factor
The finish of Wuahn Chinas have a more Rustic look in my opinion, which Appeals to me when sitting alongside my other Cymbals and my kit. I like that you can see indivudal hammer marks, that gives the cymabal a distrressed look.
