Paiste PST 3 China 18 in.

First off this China is way to loud it's louder than hitting both crashes really hard plus it doesnt even sound like a china it sounds like a crash cymbal is you are looking for a good china cymbal it isent worth it. it's strong yes but sound quality is just horrible it looks good but looks are very decieving and if I was giving the oppertunity to buy this "china" again I would defiantly just stick with my Wuhans. if you want a good china try buying some paiste alpha series chinas or anything above that but if that costs to much for you then I would just buy some wuhans but stay away from the wuhans with rivits they sound awful without the rivets they are amazing

This china is beyond euphoric . It gives me eargasms just thinking about it. Its just great , its very good for metal , metalcore , death , and thrash . Not for jazz or pop though . Too trashy and epic for that (; . Anyways , it has great sustain and a sexy decay . The picture doesn't really show the way the cymbal really looks . it has a meinl hcs or mcs type of finish , brilliant but not glossy . But anyways Yeahh ! I recommend it 100% .

I've been using Wuhan chinas for years now and I thought I'd try a brand name one like Paiste- so i went to my local Guitar Center and picked up one. Sadly, when i got home and i played it with my kit, it sounded like a car crash under water... It was pitiful.. It's not trashy at all. I play mostly rock and alternative, and sometimes metal but not often- and i hate this cymbal. It's just not for me... If you play jazz this would be a good cymbal because it is fairly soft and not so aggressive sounding.

ladies and gents, i present you an amazing china that wont let you down. ive had this china for almost a year or so now and i play in a hardcore band where i use it constantly for breakdowns and it has shown no signs of cracking or tearing. this china is wayy loud, enough to be heard over the guitar amps. its got a thin but deep sound to it. first china i bought and cant imagine any better

I have owned the Paiste PST 3 China for 2 years now, and I couldnt be more satisfied! Its loud, gorgeous, and has a quick comeback for rapid attacks. I didnt think that this thing would last 2 years of grunge metal, but it certainly has, and im 110% satisfied with this product. PAISTE OWNS!!!!
