Recommend a Zildjian china cymbal

[Dr C]

Hey LGM fam,
I would like to add a Zildjian China cymbal to my setup. I would prefer 16" maximum and a very trashy sound that blends with most styles of music without sounding too bright, too loud and gong like, as many china cymbals do. I have used Sabian cymbals for 10 years then switched to Zildjian last year. So I am just getting use to Zildjians. I won't have time to visit any of the music shops (and they are far away) and although the sound samples on the Zildjian website are quite good, opinions from people as yourselves who actually use these cymbals would be more worthwhile. Currently I am leaning towards the Zildjian 16" Oriental China Trash.

So what would you recommend?

There you go (I have an 18" A Custom China [for now until I get another one], so I can't throw that one in there based on your size criteria)...

i would suggest the 15" k china. i think it would definitely fit your criteria. i myself just got rid of a 14" oriental trash crash because just like you said, it did sound like a gong. i thing that almost all of them sound like that. another good sounding china believe it or not are the zht's. they are pretty good for the buck but if you are stickin with the high ends, the k's are your best bet.
