collapse expand iconDescription

The Matt Garstka Signature Equilibrium China provides the perfect balance of a cutting "chaw" sound and a softer, dry, trashiness, making it a china for many applications.

"If you're looking for a china that has dry, trashy, cutting, and "chaw" qualities in a nice balance, this is the china for you; hence the name "Equilibrium." It has a touch of dryness, is mildly trashy, isn't overbearingly cutting, and comes with plenty of “Chaw!" This china works in large capacity venues and in small clubs." - Matt Garstka

    First off, I do not hit my cymbals hard, as I get very nervous I will break them. This cymbal sounds AMAZING. Easily the best sounding cymbal, not just china i've ever heard. HOWEVER; it has been three months and this cymbal is already warped, rusted, and starting to crack. I take very good care of my cymbals and clean them regularly. After my first show of using it, is when I began to notice wear. I am extremely disappointed, mostly because of the price I paid for this cymbal. (too long, didnt read): The cymbal sounds great, but breaks very easily.

  • Great sound but not very durable.

    Although this china sounds fantastic and feels great to play, It won't last long if you are playing metal. I only had mine for 3 weeks before it started cracking. I thought because of how much Matt wails on his cymbals it would be constructed to be more durable. I recommend getting the pro coverage.
