Weiss 27" China Cymbal - Product Information

Weiss 27" china cymbal is often referred to as a Lion Cymbal, because of the distinctive shape, cylindrical bell (traditionally the cymbal's handle) and turned-up edges. Hand-made in Wuhan China this cymbal produces an explosive, trashy, and authentic sound. This is the largest china cymbal available and delivers a very huge sound with a range wide enough that it offers clarity as well.

A sonic and visually appealing beast!

Comments:

This china is obviously going to appeal to people who want to go over the top. But honestly it's not super ridiculous. It's very musical and could even be used in lower volume, more nuanced playing. Could work for jazz just fine, if you ask me, but I'm not a jazz expert. There's probably some purists out there who would turn their nose up at the thought of a china over 20" but some people can't be helped. That aside, us real mfkrs can and will appreciate that this thing is a tank! Absolutely cutting! I actually love it's dry character. It decays quick for its size. Loud. Cutting. And not to mention just how straight up awesome it looks. Can't wait to see people's reactions when I take it to shows. Drummers couldn't believe the Paiste Rude 24" china I brought to shows before, and while that is a fantastic china, I can't wait to up the ante. This china is just as much about visually taking it a step further as it is having a unique sound on the extreme end. This is the largest china available to the lay person. Bill Ward had a custom 29" china from Sabian on the '99 Sabbath tour, but since they ain't mass producing those any time soon, we'll call this the biggest one out there and it delivers.

GO BIG OR GO HOME

Comments:

I almost bought the 24 inch. It is nearly as big but $100 or so less. I went to order but they were out of stock. I just decided to bite the bullet and get it. If you look at the price of Wuhan, you get a lot for your money. These are priced better. It is a little cumbersome to transport due to size and dimension. I have a small kit and this cymbal about dwarfs it. The sound is powerful. It sounds like lightning striking next to you, and the metal shines like the sun. I had to widen the hole to fit my stand. Other than that, awesome purchase!

HUGE sound

Comments:

This thing sounds as massive as the dimensions suggest, and is surprisingly versatile for such a large, heavy cymbal. I absolutely BASHED on it for a show, to the point where my forearms were sore for days, and it seemed poised to handle the abuse for a long time to come. Thumbs up!
