Just ordered one of these, coming in tomorrow.
I'm just curious .. Does anybody have any experience with them?
From what I've heard they sound fucking amazing, but some seem to break quickly.

Anybody ever broken one of these? How long did it last?

Wuhan's are known to break, the china will break extra quick. Come off the cymbal quick if you want to minimize your breakage.

Alright, I have proper technique when hitting them, and I set it up high and on like a 60 degree angle so I only hit the bend, Ill make sure to hit lightly ^_^
Thanks

I have the 12", cracked pretty quickly. Be careful.

Yep, its gonna crack. Buy a warranty on the cymbal so you don't have to buy another cymbal when you crack this one.

Did your cracks form because you hit the edge though?
Or did you always hit the bend?

No, mine was always upside down at a good angle. It's not that they are poorly designed, it's just that they have an authentic china sound and to get that you need thin cymbals. If you are reasonable and don't beat the shit out of it, you should get a few months out of it at least.
