Wuhan Chinas

[ludvista29]

I just ordered a 12 and 20 chinas. I just want to know the quality of them:wave:

[HeLLmO]

very very loud and trashy

[ludvista29]

have u ever tried the sizes i ordered?

[spirit]

I never understand people who go "I just bought XYZ. Is this cymbal/drum/tractor/balloon any good?" Surely the best time to ask this was before you bought it?

Anyway, Wuhan chinas are very highly rated by people on this here board.

[Jezen]

Ahh man those are gonna be awesome! Put the 20" nice and low, flat, over your floor tom.

[ludvista29]

exactly what i was gonna do and im gonna put the 12 near the hats :thumb:

WUHANS > YOU

dont question the han foo

@threadstarter wuhans are hand hammerd,cast lathed and everything so even someone had tried the sizes no guarantee they would sound similar

i love the wuhans that ive got and hopefully will get a china soon

[aznriceball]

i loved the 12/14/18/22 size chinas. if the trend is anywhere close, ur 20 will be massively dark and ear splitting

[JIRONS]

Just picked up a 18 Wuhan China. Love it!

[SkaRabbit]

Went to pick up a Wuhan china yesterday the only one the shop had left was rusty! Think i might avoid that shop from now on...

[puppet.master]

likly a good idea

[Brokensticks]

I'm gona buy a 17" AAXtreme China when I have the money!

[FockerTheLopper]

I find that chinas are more comfortable in the air, even though I have mine mounted like that to save space.

[Zildjian]

I have a 14 in wuhan...I am in love with it...imo i like them more than Zildjians chinas (dont have an answer on the Sabian cuz i never hered them)

[aznriceball]

flat chinas = YES

[Tre Mitchell]

Cool I'm thinking of getting one. How much is the 20"?

[Dummer'n'Drummer]

Like 40$ US and 70$ CAD

[ludvista29]

I got it off of amazon.com for...ummm
39.99 and the 12 was 9.99 and i got 2 cymbal stands..the totals cost wuz with tax and that crap 118.79 but i payed nothing cuz i had over 100 dollars in gift certificits :thumb:

[cshendude]

ah cool, everyone seems to have postive feelings about wuhan. I was gonna ask the same thing, i ordered the 16 inch china and 12 inch western splash. Lookin forward to playing those bad boys :thumb:

[Tre Mitchell]

What's that in £s?

[ludvista29]

i have no fauking clue

[TTTSNB]

Yeah, it sucks when you have it mounted pretty flat, and they rebound up away from you so you can't him them in succession.

[ludvista29]

well i still didnt get them yet but ill experiment with them

[aznriceball]

i strike cymbals both normally and from the underside so its slightly easier for me to have my cymbals rather flat:smash:

[STRETCH]

i bought a 20' wuhan china about a month ago and it broke a 2 weeks later

but i did buy it used but it did sound awesome

[MeaninglessPhoto]

Yeah they are really nice. I have a 12" 14" 18" 20" and 24" they all sound really good.

[PandaDrummer]

flat cymbals are the best... if you come at them at the right angles

[HeLLmO]

if i had my way i would have enough chinas to have on flat and about 3 up high

[TTTSNB]

i strike cymbals both normally and from the underside so its slightly easier for me to have my cymbals rather flat:smash:
Yeah, thats true, but doesn't hitting them from the underside make them crack?

[aznriceball]

^ i always have that suspicion in the back on my head

but so far it hasnt happened. not even on my wuhan, and remember wuhans are razor thin

Yeah, I dunno how you hit them, maybe your specific technique works for that kind of thing.

[aznriceball]

buddy rich and john blackwell have always been big influences, so obviously my technique is very influenced by their style. im still nowhere near as clean, but i work on it whenever possible

[PandaDrummer]

Thomas Lang also strikes his cymbals from thier undersides

[TTTSNB]

Thomas Lang also strikes his cymbals from thier undersides
Yeah, but apparently his cymbals are made for that, he even says so himself.

I need a stand for the 12" I got and another stacker for my 8" Sabian splash.

[a1DrummerT]

Ahh man those are gonna be awesome! Put the 20" nice and low, flat, over your floor tom.

that where i have my 16" wuhan china...low above the floor tom

[a1DrummerT]

look on musiciansfriend.com for the gibraltar boom clamp, cheap and effective.
i have my wuhan china mounted on it

[thatdrummerguy]

as soon as I get more money.


I dont know about any of you guys but I have my ride low above my ft.

[a1DrummerT]

oh...yea and the mounting is weird, from my experience the wuhan chinas will break easily if mounted right side up.

but when you mount them upside down the weird bell gets in the way of it moving if you know what i mean.

what i did was leave the cymbal screw off of the stand.'

but they are great!!!

yea..british boy and i have 4 piece sets with the ride where the middle tom goes ( ive seen a video of him play a 4 piece )

but yea if you have a 5 or more thats where ur ride would be

[TTTSNB]

Not necessarily, mine's higher and over the 3rd rack tom.

[aznriceball]
