Should you pay $100 or $500 for you cymbal stacks? Should you mix cymbals from different brands? Today we are going to do a little shootout and see which china cymbal stacks are better: a pair of Wuhan Chinas, a pair of Zildjian FX Oriental Chinas, or a mix of the 2 brands. We'll do a 4 way comparison with a ton of sound samples so that you can really hear the difference! Gear from this video: * Wuhan China 12": amzn.to/41W3NmB * Wuhan China 16": amzn.to/423nOYn * Zildjian FX Oriental China Trash 12": amzn.to/497LNbf * Zildjian FX Oriental China Trash 16": amzn.to/3SasZ4s *If you purchase through the above links, I'll make a tiny commission. That'll make me super happy, as I could buy more drums!*
Another great video. Thanks for putting these out. My personal goto stack is a 14 Zildjian A Custom EFX Trash over a 19 Ultra Hammered A China. Sounds absolutely amazing. I like having it on an X Hat arm on my rack so I can adjust the tightness of the two cymbals. I also use a Zildjian 12" FX Oriental China Trash Cymball with a 10" Zildjian EFX A custom Splash on top for my smaller stack.
smaller stacks sound better to me, I would not use these combinations, not my taste ... but really cool video to see for sound reference ! Wuhan rocks man, ill take em any day, they are made from b20 aloy, same as top tier cymbals like zildjian a custom line ... plus they are hand hammered also, which for the price difference its a no brainer, not all of us can pay 400 bucks for each cymbal these days !
I haven't, would probably need to use 2 different sized trashformers to make that work (if they faced the same direction). Unless your thinking more of a hihat style setup. : )
@@drumdrumdrum No, I was thinking stack style - like maybe a 10" and a 14". I'd really like to hear that. Would be so much cheaper than buying one of the pre-made clap stacks from Meinl, etc.

Thanks for the kind words. : ) I want to get one of those EFX crashes at some point. Need to burn down my current inventory first 😅
Very cool video! I've only been using some cheap brass cymbals for my stack (14" hi hat top and 16" crash) and it still sounds pretty good to me.
Sweet 😎

Awesomeness
Thanks! 😊
@@drumdrumdrum np pal
Whats that China over your second floor tom??
Zildjian A custom, 18". ruclips.net/video/a2UJhO_HpaY/видео.html
I liked the Wuhan stack. I don’t think the Zildjian stack sounds $400 better, although I really like the look of them more.
Word! : )
Have you ever tried 2 of your trashformers stacked? I wonder if they'd sound anything like a clap stack.
I haven't, would probably need to use 2 different sized trashformers to make that work (if they faced the same direction). Unless your thinking more of a hihat style setup. : )

Wuhan bottom makes always the best combo.
Yeah, I wish there was a K in that size. That might fair better against the Wuhan.
MIX EM!
Word : )
Wuhan all he way. Zildjian too Ringy for a stack
Yeah, I wish they make some k chinas in those sizes.
Z top W bottom is loudest and would be my preference
Wuhan gang👇🏻
