I expect to have this one for a long time.
Sound
I use three chinas - Sabian XS20, Wuhan 14" and now the Wuhan Black China. I use the 18"; it is very trashy and good for quick hit accents and sets up quite a roar when used as a ride. The 18" has the 14" stacked on top. The sounds are very distinct and unique to Wuhan...others try, but there is always something missing, i.e too gongy or too trashy. Wuhan gets it right every time.
Ease of Use
No "learning curve" involved; just put it on the stand and roll with it.
Quality
My only problem is that the black paint is coming off on the bottom of the knob used to mount it. it is a minor issue and something that can probably be touched up with auto spray paint. Other than that, it is great. Very durable. It has been played with 2S sticks, mallets and brushes.
Value
This china cymbal is a good deal and you cannot complain about the price, especially given the fact that most cymbal makers have a much higher price point.
Manufacturer Support
I've not dealt with Wuhan or their distributor, but have dealt with Zzounds. They have become my only stop for quality, quick delivery and low prices...
The Wow Factor
Everyone loves the black finish and it is very sexy (if cymbals can truly be "sexy"). It is a very practical addition to my setup.
