Go buy some Wuhan Splash cymbals. - Page 2

TheBigMachine · 04-29-2008, 05:15 AM

I'm definitely going to be buying some of these. I recently cracked a my eons old pst 3 - im broke as anything though. Natural choice until I get a job --> wuhan. Besides that, I need some more effects cymbals.

I love Wuhan. Their splashes and china's are great. I've got an 18" China that sounded fantastic, then it cracked, and it still sounds awesome. Very trashy and quick, as you'd expect, but I'm still able to utilize it in my kit brilliantly.

Unforunately I haven't tried out their hats and crashes yet, but I do plan on it.

Wuhan's are such amazing value for money.

I'm gonna look into the 8" Splash.

If you are breaking them you suck at having any sort of touch, though

i think what people are saying is they arent intended to even match or surpass the higher brand of cymbals, but they sound great for what they are, and because of the shape of chinas they take a hell of a beating and will eventually crack regardless of finesse if you really want to open the tone of the cymbal, and because of the lower quality materials they will definitely crack before a k,z, or a,...if you cannot afford a higher brand at the time a wuhan is a great way to go...

Wuhans are great for the price and I still use my 12" splash regularly.

same here.

I bought that 12" splash early 2005 (I was still in high school), still works great to this day! Paid about $13 for it.

I love the 18 and 20 chinas, those things are beasts.

Trivium:

Wuhan cymbals are manufactured by a Chinese factory that also produces, among other things, metal shaped for the assembly of tractors and other farm machinery.

Jeffs Carrot · 03-26-2011, 01:23 PM

I'm still using mine without any problems

Some of them really have a K/HHX vibe for 1/8" the price

I'm using a 16" Wuhan crash in this video (it's the shinier one on the left) -

If I didn't tell someone that crash cost $35, I doubt anyone would know it wasn't one of the high end Zildjians that make up the rest of the cymbals there.

Jeffs Carrot · 03-28-2011, 12:00 PM

Great clip there J

That's a perfect example of how well those cymbals blend and project

jtorre · 05-22-2011, 05:06 PM

i like wuhan, but I prefer the old tried and true Zildjians.

Eh, everything has its place.

Speaking of "bang for the buck": Dream Cymbals plug.

Yes, they just got a whole bunch into my local music shop, although the Dream Bliss cymbals seemed so thin I would crack those in no time...tried a few of the Contacts, I likes those much better. Great prices as well.

Aaron · 07-17-2011, 04:22 PM

They're pretty hit and miss. My mate had a 24" Bliss in the medium territory, and it was pretty clunky. Weighted on one side so it rotated on the stand back to the same spot.

Well, they cater to lower volume playing. I'm probably going to pick up a ride of theirs and maybe a pair of hi-hats for a jazz kit I'm putting together. Can't beat the price!

Jeffs Carrot · 09-15-2011, 11:16 PM

They are amazing cymbals

I tried a 24" paper thin ride and I have to buy one now
