What is a China cymbal?

A China cymbal is an instrument that belongs to the percussion family. It is designed to create a slightly different pitch when compared to a standard crash or ride cymbal. It falls under the effects range of cymbals along with others like splashes, vented cymbals, and stacks. The name is derived from its similarity to the sound produced when you strike a Chinese gong.

What is a Sabian China cymbal made of?

A China cymbal is typically composed of four main copper-based alloys, including bell bronze, malleable bronze, brass, and nickel silver. The darker the cymbal, the dryer the tone that results when the China cymbal is stricken. A dry tone results in a short sustain, which is relatively common among most Sabian China cymbals since they are intended as a quick accent in a percussive sequence.

Why do cymbals differ in size?

Different-sized Sabian cymbals produce different noises as well as pitches. When a cymbal is struck, the outer rim vibrates while the inner plate remains motionless. The vibrations produce the resulting crashing sound. A thinner cymbal creates the noise faster, which makes the crash-produced sound fuller. A heavier cymbal will make a higher-pitched sound and at an increased volume.

What is different about the Sabian Holy China cymbal?

This type of cymbal is produced to make a sound unlike a traditional China model. It is drilled with holes in an axle from the center point in order to create more volume from the crash. It also has a raised pitch and can sustain a longer crash due to the added holes. These are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 8 inches to 21 inches.
