27 INCH CHINA

[maddrummr]

I was browsing lately and i found that wuhan makes 27 inch chinas! I was amazed since most bass drums arent even this big and i was wondering if anyone has even seen or played a china that big.
Just want your thoughts...

Wow. 27 inches huh? Pretty big. Id like to hear how dark it sounds.

Sheesh, thats gong territory. Imagine how much space that beast would take up. I'd love to hear it, probably like a very dark and trashy gongish sound. Cool stuff.

Wow... I think I saw a 30" ride on cymbalholic before, but I'm not sure.

You were not imagining things.

According to the Sabian catalogue I have, Bill Ward uses a 26" and a 27" china.

I played a Sabian HH Thin 28" China a few months back at the factory.

Nice sound but good luck finding a cymbal case for it!
