So today was the day i went to my local music store to look on some splashes. As i walked in i saw that they stocked wuhan! something i had missed everytime i visited theyre store before. But anyway, i thought, fawk it, no splashes for me im getting a china! And i ended up buying a 16" Wuhan china and a Evans G1 coated for my snare. I can finally get rid of my well used Emperor X and put a nice 1 ply haed on. Anyway, the head and china cost me 77 euros, do you think it was a good deal?

I don't know...But good pick ups non the less

wuhans are really rare in finland and you must also notice that everything realted to drums is expensive as hell over here!
I dont know how dollars and euros match but if theyre about the same, you cant get anything more than a pair of stick over here for 10 euros

EDIT: And jsut to make sure, you are suposed to mount the china upside down right? So that the bell is facing down as is the text on the cymbal

Why not Lime?

I don't know, Put some felts top and bottom, and turn it upside down. If you keep it right side up, It won't damage the china, But the upturned edges will knaw at the sticks. Play it like any other cymbal in your collection, It's no different. Just utilize good technique.

Seeing as its wuhan i'd use a clancing blow or the pull back technique.

With them being hand hammered without much in the way of quality control they can sometimes have weak points.

Dont get me wrong, they're good cymbals. You just get the odd bad one.

Bloody good deal compared to what we'd probably have to pay in Australia.

I would also like a good kit, maby i'll upgrade hw and get cymbals firs
