    That's a different and absolutely great way to explain how the China is a versatile cymbal for any kind of situation

    His touch is great and controlled he can make that cymbal say anything he wants it to. Just a great dynamic drummer utilizing the tools to make great music

    Mel Lewis inspired me on the swish cymbal he played on Maynard Ferguson's The Blues Roar album.
    I love the way Jeff says that the china cymbal creates it's own applause....perfect!

      I have a 16” Meinl Extra Dry China, and while it’s still good for rock due to its cutting ability and attack I find it’s best suited for soft, more delicate passages based on the amount of texture and dynamic nature of the cymbal. It has tremendous stick definition that gets lost on harder strokes so jazz is a very suitable environment for a small cymbal like that… of course it lacks the wash a larger china provides but it depends on your style of playing as well

      Unmatched, says who? I adore chinas, but I like to go with the dark, turkish sound (Istabul, Bosphorus etc.) over the glossy Sabian sound. Furthermore, I like my cymbals affordable and not ridiculously overpriced. I dont mean to burst your bubble though, feel free to make absolute statements.

      I've seen you comment on every single one of these china videos about how good Sabian cymbals are. Are you a rep, or are you trying to get a sponsorship? lmao
      Frankly, anything instrument related is all about taste and preference. Not one brand is better than another.

      Chinas were originally mounted bell side up, so you can ride on it and have access to the bell. There is no right way.

      When people say this it just bugs the shit out of me look at the bell some chinas are legit made to play this side up and to be used as a ride with finesse its not a 30 dollar agazarian made for breakdowns
