Wuhan Crash Cymbal 

Comments about Wuhan Crash Cymbal:

I like the sound of this cymbal. It not a typical crash, and the sound takes some getting used to, but it's a nice addition to my kit. And the price can't be beat. I did have a bit of a problem in that when it arrived, it had a small gash in one edge, like someone had hit it straight on the edge with a steel bar. It took awhile (3 phone calls) for MF to get the return shipping arranged, but it eventually got all worked out and I'm quite happy with the replacement. I would recommend that you check it closely upon receipt, as it was difficult to tell if the defect on the first one was from the factory or from damage that occurred after manufacturing.

These are the are hands down the best cymbals for the price. IMO these babies should cost alot more. I've been playing for over 20yrs and I know what a good cymbal should sound like and these are it! I purchased the 16in crash and 18in crash/ride..had intentions on using them just for practice, but once I struck them, that decision left quickly. They sound absolutely amazing! Maybe I'm just lucky..idk..these are as good as most high end and priced cymbals out there..they have a tad bit more trashy sound to them, but still have that broken glass sound that most like..to me there's not much of a 'Oriental' sound at all, though most would think it is since they are made in China..I definitely would recommend these to anyone who wants a good sounding cymbal regardless of price..I'm sold and will be purchasing more of these from Wuhan. Oh yea, these cymbals look great as well, if that matters to you...

I was a little iffy on ordering this cymbal (16") mainly because of the price. Glad I went ahead and ordered. Amazing cymbal. Must try.

Bought this for my son's set and it sounds great for just drumming around at home. My son will be very pleased with this for Christmas. Item arrived on time and very safely packed.

I started with one 16 inch crash on my kit as an inexpensive way to replace one of my crashes that had broken. At first the cymbal was really oriental sounding and almost turned me off. I stuck with it though and im glad i did because as soon as you break these cymbals in you will not find a better sounding cymbal for the price. I now play on 14 Wuhan Hats, 2 16 inch Crashes and the 20 inch Wuhan Ride. I am amazed how great these very affordable cymbals are. Also they are made out of B20 material like the Xs20 Sabian series but for a cheaper price. They are hand hammered, lathed and buffed so each cymbal has a unique sound making them all unique. I highly recomend these cymbals for anyone starting out or intermediate players looking for a new sound that will keep you wallet and ears happy.

This would be a Consumer Reports best buy if they did crash symbols. Not on par with the best cymbols out there, but, for the money, a fantastic sounding crash cymbol. I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. If it lasts more than a year (I play almost every day), I'll feel like I've got my money's worth out of it and would probably buy a replacement.
It's a crash symbol, so there aren't many features. OK, there aren't any features
I've got a full set of top of the line vintage Zildjians that I aquired years ago in college from a jazz drummer who was leaving town and needed some cash. In no way does the Wuhan crash compare to these. The Wuhan sound is much trashier and and quite a bit duller, but that doesn't mean it's not an excellent crash symbol, especially for the money. New, the Zildjians would cost at least five or six times as much, so you would expect them to sound better. Since the Wuhan is made of the same material and is the same color, it fits right in with the Zildjians. Obviously, it's not top of the line, but it still sounds great. I can't speak for the other sizes, but the 14 inch crash is great.
Like I said, top of the line Zidjians would cost WAY more. The price is more than fair. I've only had it a couple of weeks, though, so I can't speak for it's durability. It looks and plays like it will last, though. Probably the best buy for your money out there.

I am completely pleased with my purchase, it sounds better than I ever expected. Needed crash to the right of my kit but did not want to spend a fortune. Did countless side by side comparisons with the wuhan and the big 3 and if you listen closely with exact size cymbals that were HH and med thin, it was negligible. No HH is the same anyway. Mounted the cymbal and started playing and wow was I surprised. It sounds terrific, just what I needed. My expectations were exceeded ten fold. I find myself going to the cymbal often whereas I rarely went to the cymbal I had there before (18" zildjian, I've had it over 30 years-great cymbal just did not fit my needs). The Wuhan mixes nicely with my other cymbals (Sabian AA and AAX's) and for the price you can't go wrong. B20 bronze and HH, again, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it sounds.
Received cymbal for Christmas, brilliant shine, looks sharp.
Great so far, had just over a month. Time will tell on how it holds up, but from the looks of it and how it play, I', optimistic it will.
This price for B20 bronze HH cymbal. Enough said.

I purchased 2 16 inch crashes and a 14 inch crash after I had purchased the 18 inch crash/ride and was fairly pleased with the performance of the 18 crash. I am very familiar with Wuhan cymbals having used their splashes and chinas for several years with complete satisfaction. These cymbals sound much darker and are not as explosive as many cymbals available today. I don't necessarily believe these cymbals are cheap, less expensive yes, but not cheap. I think the gong-like undertones and washy characteristics of these cymbals will turn many players off. I feel that these are very musical cymbals. Compared to my Sabian Pro's and Paiste PST5's I feel the Wuhans have more personality to them. If you're looking for something different to add to your existing cymbal line-up I'd suggest trying one of these cymbals. They just might surprise you.

I play in a metal band and I bought these cymbals for their dark signature sound. They are not by any means bright-sounding, but rather dark and explosive. If you are a hard hitter, think twice before buying these cymbals. They are medium cymbals, not heavy cymbals. I bought mine 5 months ago and they have severely cracked beyond repair and don't sound nearly as good as they did before (obviously). While I know how to play them without breaking them, one of my bands guitar players got on my kit a few times and completely destroyed them, leaving large cracks over just a few hours total of playing. Be careful with these, and use proper technique. They are not incredibly loud or piercing, so it may be tempting to hit them pretty hard - don't! The bright side is that they're very affordable to replace.

I own both the 16" crash and the 18" crash/ride. Interestingly enough, the 18" has a higher tone than the 16." I typically used the 18" crash/ride for heavier riffs coming off the hi-hat, used my 18" Wuhan china for most heavy breakdowns, and switched to the 16" for the really slow and nasty breakdowns because the 16" has the lowest, darkest, and meanest sound. They're great cymbals, but fragile. Use some love and care.
Dark, gloomy sound.
Brilliant finish, good metal and sound.
These are the best bang-for-your-buck cymbals you can get today. If you're on a budget, these cymbals are for you. High quality B20 bronze cymbals cannot be found anywhere else at this price.
