18-inch china cymbals are the fuller, louder china option: a wide, trashy tone with more body, longer decay and enormous cutting power. They carry over loud bands and deliver explosive accents. Every china at Cymballand is handcrafted in Istanbul from pure B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin).
Series in this size
In 18 inches the range runs from the dry, raw Kurak to the brilliant Rock Beat and the assertive Sirius China Holey. The matte-brilliant Euphonic, the effect-rich FX and the time-honored Classic China Thin cover every shade from dark to biting. You'll find more effect cymbals in our china & effect cymbals overview.
What an 18-inch china is made for
The larger diameter gives the 18" china more volume and a longer, washy tail – ideal as the loud main effect in rock and metal, or as a trashy accent next to a big ride. As a stack component it also delivers creative, slicing textures.
As the official Turkish Cymbals dealer, Cymballand has been supplying drummers across Europe since 2015 – free shipping within the EU, straight from Berlin. Choose your 18-inch china and order from Cymballand.
Ich bin total begeistert von dem gelieferten Jazzbecken.

Hallo Rolf, vielen Dank für deine 5 Sterne und die netten Worte! Es freut mich sehr, dass dir das John Blackwell Signature Ride so gut gefällt. Viel Spaß beim Spielen, und wenn du mal Fragen hast oder etwas Neues suchst, melde dich gern bei mir.
Eine interessante Mischung aus Splash und Mini Flat Ride. Eine Bereicherung für mein Set Up.
Hallo Simon,
vielen Dank für die fünf Sterne und für das Foto dazu. Die Beschreibung trifft es genau: Die Satellite Flat Bell ist irgendwo zwischen Splash und Mini Flat Ride angesiedelt, und genau diese Zwischenwelt macht sie so spannend. Schön zu hören, dass sie dein Set bereichert.
Really dark, loud hihats, works good as secondary hats for blastbeats when set not too washy.
Thanks for the order, and for this genuinely useful feedback. Dark and loud with control over the wash is exactly the Kurak character, and hearing that it holds up for blastbeats as secondary hats is a great data point for anyone in that scene. Enjoy them!
