20" Zildjian China Boy Low – 1728g
Condition: Very good used condition. Fully playable, no structural issues. This is a discontinued, highly sought-after cymbal.
Sound character:
The China Boy Low offers that classic trashy, explosive China sound with a slightly darker, low-pitched character. Its swooping edge, square bell, and thin weight create a sharp attack and a fast, aggressive decay, while still retaining the musical quality and craftsmanship Zildjian is known for. Ideal for accent crashes, explosive hits, and adding unique texture to your kit.
Historical notes:
According to the 1980s Zildjian catalog:
"A swooping edge, square bell and thin weight creates the authentic, trashy, china sound but with that extra Zildjian quality. Two separate China Boys are available—one high-pitched, the other low-pitched. Pitch variations are the result of different cup-to-edge metal tapers and profiles."
