Wuhan ORA 18-inch China Cymbal
Wuhan ORA 18-inch China Cymbal Reviews
Wuhan's Outward Reduced Audio (ORA) series brings the look, touch, and tone of your favorite performance cymbals to an apartment-friendly format. Low-volume ORA cymbals feature a rugged all-metal construction to not only supply the feel of your best bronze when you're laying down garage grooves, but also to stand up to the most unyielding nightly practice schedules. Despite their reduced output, Wuhan ORA cymbals still manage to give you the sway and dynamics of a traditional cymbal. This makes them a solid investment for teaching lessons at home and running rehearsals before a gig. We at Sweetwater have also enjoyed the Wuhan ORA series for eDrumming — slap a $10 piezo pickup on this 18-inch china and experience new levels of realism as you trigger instruments from your drum module or virtual library. The fact is, wherever you need a quieter cymbal that doesn't skimp on look or response, the Wuhan ORA 18-inch china packs big value for the money.
They improved the design recently
I purchased a second one of these low volume china's and there has been a noticeable improvement. This new one is actually contoured like a regular chine cymbal and has auch more realistic sound.
Pretty good especially for the price
It's definitely louder than my L80 cymbals but that may be normal since it's a China. It's flatter than I was expecting and doesn't have the shimmery cymbal sound like the L80s but still has that gongy china sound so it fits the bill.
