SABIAN 17" AA Holy China Cymbal, Brilliant Finish

I have been looking for a china cymbal for several years. With no luck. I could not find one that it was not gongy, klangy, or not musical. The Wuhan was the closest one to what I wanted. But it was lacking finesse. This china has it all. Even at a low volume setting, it produces beautiful sounds. You don’t have to only whack it to make it sing. Of course this is a very personal choice, but if you want a short, musical, loud, trashy china, check it out.

I have quite a few chinas of varying size and design, but this one is my favorite. It has a crisp response and a moderate sustain, without being overbearing typical of larger chinas. The sound compliments crashes and splashes well, and has a nice contrast to bells and rides. It has quickly become an everyday fixture on my kit. I play many genres, from funk rock and reggae, to metal and blues. It works well with them all! You won't be sorry after picking this one up.

Works great as a short accent cymbal in my setup with larger crash cymbals. Hit it, burst of bright white noise, and it’s gone. Excellent.

Best sounding Sabian China that I've heard. I was reluctant seeing the holes...thought it would have a weird o-zone sound, but sounds exactly like the trashy china I've been searching for. To my ears, it's better than the 19' Paragon, which I'll promptly be putting on eBay.

Great china but it arrived with patina around the the bell and orange scuffs on the outside. Also slightly bent. It’s noticeable so will be returning.

This cymbal is everything you could possibly want in a China crash and more. It's extremely loud and cutting. You'd think the holes would take away from the sound of the cymbal but they do the exact opposite. This is by far one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon. My only question is why are you still reading this and not buying one of these cymbals?

To clarify, this is the 19" brilliant holy china. It's $6 cheaper than the normal price, $239. Let me start by saying, this thing is LOUD. And it has a nice dark decay. I love this cymbal.

This cymbal is absolutely amazing. It is without a doubt the loudest cymbal I have ever owned and it has great sustain. I definitely recommend it if you like to play metal.

Ottimo il servizio di spedizione. Il piatto è molto leggero ma ha un suono TROPPO FORTE E ACUTO. Fa schifo, quando lo suonate da FASTIDISSIMO ALLE ORECCHIE. pessimo.

Sounds amazing. Love it so much think I might grab the 19" version too.

Muy buen plato, su sonido es espectacular, el unico fallo es que viene poco protegido dentro del paquete por el precio que vale.

Es una verdadera belleza este platillo, si lo volvería a comprar

Love it! Sounds amazing!! Highly recommended!!
