Turkish Cymbals 12" China & Effects

12-inch chinas are the largest of our compact effect chinas: noticeably more body and trash volume than 8 and 10 inches, while keeping the fast response and a short, explosive decay. Every china at Cymballand is hand-hammered in Istanbul from pure B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin).

Series in this size

In 12 inches we carry the time-honored Classic china with its traditional, dark-trashy profile – the same model is also available in 8 and 10 inches. You'll find more effect cymbals in our china & effect cymbals overview.

What a 12-inch china is made for

The 12" china is the all-rounder among the small chinas: powerful, trashy accents and short stops in rock, metal and fusion, as a top on a stack, or as a biting effect color in the studio. It delivers a tangible trash punch – and clears the field before the mix suffers.
