    This video sold me on the Koi cymbals. I was on the fence but I have no regrets on my purchase. 21" ride and 15" hats. I'll be adding more in the near future.

    These cymbals love being under a microphone live or studio., I have the 14'' HH, 21''R, 17''&18''Cr,20''DCCh,10''&12''Sp, (12'' modded w/16 holes, 4 rows of 3 and one in between each of those). After over a year of gigs and recordings, I am still blown away, to the point of where I've been grabbing their Linear Smash Crashes which (to me) are equally as good. Wuhan are hands down the ''starter'' cymbal Kings, from the Western series to these Koi's any level of drummer can have great sounding B20 cymbals. Even their Lion Chinas are good, I still have an 16''&18'' that I got in the 80's (thanks to Neil Peart). As for any parents looking to buy your kids 1st set of cymbals, these or the Western series are the way to go, the same goes for any drummer on a budget. Stagg's new B20 cymbals are quite good also. Of course I'll never get rid of my Zildjian A's and K's, but that goes w/out saying yeah. Sorry for such a long winded comment, but I feel these Wuhan's deserve it.

      May have the reputation of starter but these hold their own. I listened to the Wuhan Koi dark china and Sabian Holy China and chose Wuhan over it. I think we need to get over the stigma of Wuhan as cheap/ starter. Kinda like how Kia vehicles used to be in the early 2000's.

    Bought a whole set of these over the course of the last year. Unique, but colorful and musical. They're fairly thin, so they open up quickly and work great in lower volume settings, but mic up REALLY well (as you can tell above).

    I'm thinking these are maybe thicker than the western traditional ones because they have more sustain? The Wuhan crashes i have look almost identical, except the bell with these is un-lathed with hammered bell. I have the Western Wuhan series, too thin sometimes!
