Rare Vintage Wuhan 24” CHINA SWISH Stunning Complex Gentle GIANT! 2230 g Amazing!

A magnificent 24”! Vintage WUHAN 2 FOOT China from back in the day.

The Chinese have been making cymbals for millennia and this gorgeous 24” is that traditional tone! The one that Neil Peart brought to modern music in the 80s, but it had been a mainstay on the contraption set since the early 1900s.

Hand hammered with that telltale waviness on the plain - so steep it looks like canyons.

At 2230 grams this 24” plays like a Thin to Medium Thin with a very quick decay.

Dark, famously complex and “trashy” with that classic CHINA tone that makes the perfect effects punch or alternate crash. Great attack that decays very quickly. Simply beautiful for a cutting crash-like tone that hits and quits.

Incredible as an alternate ride.

None of the modern companies were ever able to capture the sound of these Traditional style Wuhan Chinas. They tried but they were never even close!  They last waaaaaay too long and don’t have the quick complexity that separates these from the modern fare.

Fantastic condition for its age - around 40 years old.  No issues. Not an easy find and so fun to play! Definitely a headturner. Very musical Gentle Giant

And a sonic steal.
