WUHAN WUSP 10-Inch Splash Cymbal

Just purchased this Wuhan 10 inch splash from Amazon a few weeks ago. Couldn't be happier with it. This cymbal is a win/win. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner, or a seasoned pro looking for another splash to add to the collection, this cymbal will fit the bill. The sounds I've been getting out of this thing are bright, warm and explosive. Very responsive....reminds me of the HHX splash, but not as earthy. Easily holds its own against any of the high priced splashes......and for only 30 bucks! ............ I'll be giving these out as Christmas gifts this year. I've been playing for nearly 40 years. I tend to lean toward cymbals that work well in a jazz/ Latin setting....and bashing some Bohnam in between. I know a good cymbal when I hear it, and this one is a keeper. If you like great sounding cymbals and appreciate a ridiculous bargain, this one's a no brainer. Its B20 alloy so its on par with the high end stuff. If you don't abuse it, it'll bring you years of enjoyment.......all for only 30 bucks. Rivals many $130 splashes. Bottom line, this thing is a steal...stop reading the reviews about this thing and click the "Buy" button. If you are still reading this review, you must not like pro sounding splashes at entry-level prices. I've owned entry-level cymbals before. The ones that came with my first drum set as a package deal. They're a horrible joke. These Wuhan splashes are not that. They are B20...the good stuff. They have a brilliant finish so they are easy to clean and look great. Are you still here? Then you must be seriously considering this bad boy. I did that too for a few days, reading review after review as Amazon's supply on hand dwindled down to only 11 left. Then I went ahead and bought it and I could not be happier. So much so that I'll be getting yet another to experiment with some side-hat/EFX stack options. Ever bought one of those expensive splashes only to realize that when applied to a low volume setting, it just kinda sucks? Not this one. Beautiful, explosive shimmer that works perfectly in low volume settings. My pricey A now sees very little play since I got this baby. Are you still here? You should've clicked on the "Buy Now" option by now. I'm tryin' to do you a favor here. LOOK! Spend the 30 bucks on this thing. Skip a meal and a couple of starbucks beverages and use the cash you saved to buy this cymbal. You'll shave a few calories AND as a bonus, you'll end up with the best deal you've gotten all year. You can thank me later. Just please don't buy them ALL so I can get a couple more. Now go before they sell out! P.S. I generally don't write reviews. I buy a product, usually based on others reviews, and then let lady luck do her thing. Using that strategy I've had mostly good luck, and a couple of duds (lookin' at you Cuisinart electric kettle). In total, this is the fourth review I've written since the invention of the internet. When a product is so outstanding, and such a great value, I'm compelled to give it the props it deserves. It's happened four times for me. This is one of them. Enjoy!

The Wuhan 10 inch Splash is, surprisingly, made of B20 Alloy, the same as the higher end lines from Sabian, Zildjian, Mienl and other cymbal companies. As all Wuhan cymbals, this is hand hammered and has full sound with attitude. The 10 inch Wuhan Splash sounds beautiful, dark and produces a medium-long decay of the initial hit, very similar to a crash. I compared this splash to a Zildjian A Series 10 inch splash and surprisingly the Wuhan, to my ears, sounds much better. The Zildjian sounded a bit tinny and not as full as the Wuhan. The Wuhan really impressed me a lot with the side by side comparison. The hand hammering is something that most cymbal companies don't offer except for the expensive, high end cymbals lines. All of the Wuhan cymbals I have purchased and/or heard in person all sound great, some much better than others. They are very affordable which allows drummers to build a cymbal set quickly for much less money then the bigger named cymbal companies. I wish I could have found out about these cymbals 20 years ago for they are the best value for amazing sounding quality cymbals. For a fraction of the cost of other cymbals on the market in the B20 lines, it's a win win in my mind. The pictures I submitted are when I first received the cymbal. The second is after I hand polished and removed the black lettering

I can't believe I only paid $30 for this cymbal. The sound is richer and darker than I was expecting, and a great complement for any rock or metal drum style. In fact, I prefer the sound of this splash to my $150 china crash. If you're on the fence, just buy it already. Best $30 you'll spend.

Definitely a good investment, but not entirely what I expected. It's very thin and flexible, which makes it easy to bend or dent. But, I've not broken it even though I've been hitting it pretty hard. I was surprised at how deep the tone is, which is why I say that it's not what I expected. The decay is typical of a splash, but the deep tone makes it kind of trashy. I like the trashiness for many contexts, but if you're looking for something that will compare to a clean Zildjian splash, then this isn't it. Definitely a good sound for many contexts and for the price you simply can't go wrong with this. Just don't get it if you're after a super specific tone, because it will probably not be quite what you're looking for unless you want something trashy. The size is nice -- more of a quieter, quicker decay trash cymbal than a traditional splash but, again, for many contexts that's a nice thing. It's definitely a good value cymbal and one that you won't regret buying, even if it's not what you're looking for.

I bought this to use as a hi-hat in conjunction with the 10" Arborea mute cymbal. Pros: - I really like that this cymbal sounds more like a real cymbal rather than an effect like what most splash cymbals are. - The sustain is a bit shorter due to smaller diameter which is exactly what I'm looking for in my hi-hat. - The volume of the cymbal is a bit more quiet than my other 10" splash cymbal which is totally fine with me. It feels much more balanced with the rest of my low-volume kit and I don't have to do much self-mixing with my playing. Cons: - The first cymbal that arrived had a dent in it. The cymbal was very well packed and there was no damage to the box. Inspect the cymbal when you get it and make sure there is no dent. As a side note, West Music was very helpful and expedient in sending replacement cymbal to me. The 5-star is not only for the cymbal but to the seller as well!

You’ll never find a better sounding splash in this price range.

Great sound for the price as well.

Awesome product it never showed up great job
