It is common knowledge amongst percussionists; Wuhan cymbals sound fantastic and unique, they are not expensive, but they also tend to break...
Did you know...
Wuhan Cymbals are handmade in the Chinese town of Wuhan. These are the real Chinese Cymbals, and they sound amazingly fat; short, explosive, and trashy. But what you also need to know about Wuhan Chinas, is that these cymbal's are not made for the purpose that we use them for, they are made as handcymbals. They are made to be played by hand, or as marching cymbal. This makes them less resistant to the long term abuse of hitting them with sticks and therefore they can break sooner than what you are used to from a regular cymbal. For this reason Wuhan gives -when the cymbals are played with sticks- no guarantee on broken cymbals. Just so you know!
