Make sure you listen to them in person before buying them.

I got one of their 14" chinas.  It was only $15, so it's their bottom of the line, but for $15 it sounds great.  It also looks like an already crappy cymbal that somebody just smacked a bunch with a small hammer.  But for a "serious" cymbal (as opposed to something for the mean time until I actually can afford to buy a decent cymbal) I probably wouldn't recommend them.  I've heard they break pretty easily, too.

Ive got the 14" china too.  It was free from GC if I bought the package of 10 pair of drumsticks.  The promo was actually for the 12" china but they were out so they gave me the 14".

I also have a 10" splash and it's pretty decent for $20.  I don't use either at the gigs; only for goofing around at home.

I have a 12" and 18" China.  They are fantasticly deliciously trashy and you can't beat the price.  Why not get an "authentic" china cymbal?   Grin  As for breaking, I'm not sure they would break any easier than any other cymbal if played properly.  In short.  Try 'em, you'll like 'em!

Seconded. If you like the sound they give, they're great value. If you don't like it, look for something else. Wuhans are a love-em-or-hate-em brand of cymbals - they're definitely good stuff, but they don't appeal equally to everyone.

Also note that Wuhan S is the, umm, "regular" line - hi-hats and crashes, not chinas. Wuhan chinas are very trashy, but not so for the Wuhan S. What I've heard about the Wuhan S is that it's very bright. It puts some people off, but others love it.

I have a 12 inch Wuhan china that I bought from Guitar Center.  I tested about 10 of them in the store and each one sounded different.  One of them stood out from the rest and had the sound I wanted.  I would suggest testing multiples and picking out the ones that sound best to your ears.

I also bought two inexpensive Agazarian splashes from GC.  I have never heard of these before, but they seem to be similar in quality and price to the Wuhans.
