Saluda. Its about the same price as a Wuhan, but much, much better.

You can't seem to go wrong with Wuhan Chinas. But then again I haven't heard anything from Saluda so I can't judge.

they wuhan is your basic china, but your saluda is the same design but with better QC and more choices all for about the same price. I would go with the saluda.

i have an 18" wuhan and its great i just think that the saluda will be better

and i dont want to hear anything about the saludas just being reinked wuhans because that is just bs

www.drumgearonline.com but if you are looking for a certain sound or something i would email jamie the owner at info@saludacymbals.com he will help you find just what you are looking for and can get you a custom logo or finish whatever floats your boat

yes you can get your name or whatever else you might want. at www.saludacymbals.com in the products section look at the gallary and you can see there are some that have custom logos and their names on them and such.
i have a set of mist X hats that i love and i plan on getting a flat ride from them very soon

WHOA man Wuhan chinas are oh so much cheaper, i didnt look on that retail site but on saludas web site the sell for over 100 bucks for the 12 inch while on musicians friend wuhans are around 30 dollors US for the 12 inch, maybe im a cheap evil person but go for the wuhans i would especcially since i've never heard of saluda

ok saludas web site says the retail price wuhans web site says there chinas are well over 100 dollars to. sabians and anyother cymbals web site has their cymbals at at leat 50% more then they sell for.

saluda is about the same price maybe a bit more i think franklinj sent me a price list when i was looking for new hats from them. The saluda chinas are the same design and are going to be better quality i have an 18'' whuan and it weighs more on one side and the whole is out of center. THe saludas are not going to have anyof these problems. The saluda web site just says retail value. like anyother cymbal web site its just there so you can tell your friends not so touch your stuff because its worth $300 and you can show them at web site(at least thast what i do)

a 12'' saluda voodoo china is about $28 i think the 18'' is about $47
