Maybe a got a bad one?
Sounded great. But it cracked within the first take of song. So it lasted me about 3 minutes. I would have sent it back but I purchased it, and it sat in my room for weeks because of lockdown. Shame because it sounded good but I have threw away money.

They sound good but they may break easily
They sound good but they may break easily, I say this because I've had to purchase 2 of these (in different occasions) and after about a few months of playing they crack like there's no tomorrow until eventually there's no cymbal to even hit. I play with some moderate power since I play in a metal band so that may be the cause, although some other chinas don't break that easily in a metal context. I've had friends with the same type of cymbals and on rare occasions they may be super resistant.

Perfect budget china
I bought this as a last-minute addition to my cymbal lineup as I wanted a bigger, louder China cymbal before a gig. I had tried Millenium cymbals before, which is the drum brand owned by Thomann, so thought this might be worth a try. I have to say this is a great budget cymbal, and you get a lot of bang for your buck here.
Pros:
-Affordable b20 cymbal
-Loud and trashy: would fit a rock, punk or metal context very well
-Looks great, not like a cheap cymbal at all
Cons:
-The sound decays very fast, which personally isn't to my taste
I've been using this cymbal for a gig and a couple of practices now, and I have to say it's holding up pretty well. It easily gathers stick marks, and as a cheap cymbal I'm expecting it to start to break soon, but because of the incredible value when it breaks I can afford to just order a new one.
I recommend this cymbal to beginner or intermediate drummers hoping to open up their possibilities on the drums a bit. It beats every other cheap cymbal brand easily, but might not be the best for professionals due to the cymbal's fast decay.

Breaks VERY fast.
This cymbal breaks very fast, used it for a few practice sessions and it was already cracked. As soon as it's cracked, the crack propagation is very fast and it isn't usable anymore.
I like the sound of this cymbal very much though.

Your Only china you will ever need.
This cymbal is china of china s. It is what china cymbal is and should be. quite thin and handmade. Also has a quick decay and loud attack.
Because it is a Wuhan cymbal it is authentic chinese cymbal and 18 inches is perfect for all kinds of heavy music.
Pros
Thin
Perfect size at 18 inches
Handmade
Definitive sound
Bargain price
Sound improves with time
Cons
Finish of the cymbal can be ruined if the cymbal surface is colder than room temperature.
So in winter you should keep it warm.
For heavy music and funk, fusion it suits but probably not for jazz.

Not a Wuhan, still very good
I had a Wuhan before, I loved it. This one sounds brighter compared to my old Wuhan, but still very good for the price. No other china can beat it under 4 times that price.

Awesome sound, poor durability
This china sounds amazing for the money it costs. Even through some low-end mics it just rips the air.
The downside - It lasted about 3 months before breaking.

Great quality to price
I was used to budget cymbals that sound...well.. they don't really sound! Therefore I was positively surprised of this one from Thomann. Loud and super trashy, works well for all rock style music. Less versatile for jazz/fusion I.M.O. at least in this size

Get what you pay for
Great sound, but basically ornamental quality.
You know the kind of trashy sounds this will get used for and as such predict its expected lifespan, but at this price can you complain for B20?
Centre hole looked pressed with a square broach.
Cymbal full of flaws and flea bites.
Cleans up ok, does a job, maybe doesn't sound much better than a trash stack you like already though.
