Sabian 18" HH Chinese

The Sabian 18" HH Chinese delivers dark, musical response with immediate cut and definition. Hand-hammered construction produces the unmistakable warmth and complexity that studio and stage players rely on for authentic China cymbal character. This cymbal excels across riding, accents, crashes, and effects applications.
