This Millenium China is a surprisingly decent option for players on a budget who need a quick, bright China sound. It's great for beginners or gigging drummers needing an extra China without a huge investment, but don't expect the nuance of a top-tier model – it's a solid, functional cymbal.

Product Description

Millenium 16" B20 China, China Cymbal, Size: 16", B20 material, Fast responsive China cymbal with clear and defined sound and timbre

PROS
  • • B20 bronze alloy provides a brighter, more complex shimmer than cheaper alternatives.
  • • Fast response and clear wash make it suitable for quick dynamic changes.
  • • The bell tone is surprisingly defined for a cymbal in this price bracket.
  • • Relatively lightweight construction allows for comfortable playing for extended periods.
CONS
  • • Lacks the sustain and complexity of higher-end, hand-hammered China cymbals.
  • • The finish is machine-lathed, which means a less nuanced, more 'uniform' sound.
  • • May develop a 'stick mark' quickly due to the relatively thin profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's significantly brighter and less complex than an Avedis China, lacking the same depth and vintage character, but offers a similar overall 'splashy' quality.
While it’s responsive, the lighter weight won’t cut through a very dense, heavily amplified mix as well as a heavier cymbal.
Yes, the bell is responsive enough for basic siren effects, though it won't have the extreme pitch bend of some more expensive models.
