Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
This china was conceived from a clear request: to create a deliberately "over the top," very loud and very trashy cymbal capable of delivering an immediate impact both on stage and in the studio. Its design does not seek versatile subtlety but maximum effectiveness on breaks, choruses, and transitions-where a china must literally "speak" louder than the rest of the kit. With its exaggeratedly high profile, raw bell, and rows of holes dedicated to extra volume and dirtiness, it clearly fits the logic of a signature cymbal with character: a piece dedicated to accents, bold and spectacular.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
The 19-inch AA Holy China cymbal is aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers seeking a radical and immediately recognizable accent sound. Its natural playground: energetic rock, punk, hardcore, metal, metalcore, aggressive fusion, as well as any live situations where a cutting effect is needed that remains audible despite dense guitars and high stage volume. In more subtle contexts (light pop, traditional jazz), it can still be used but requires more control, as its response is designed to be direct and very present.

Questions frequently asked
What sound does the Sabian C. Smith Holy China 19" BR produce?
This china delivers a bright and very trashy attack, with projection designed to remain present in amplified settings. The B20 alloy adds harmonic richness and depth to the effect.

The 18 rows of holes promote a quick response and a more effervescent texture. They contribute to the cymbal's trashy and pierced character.
What styles is this 19-inch china suitable for?
Its 19-inch size and high profile suit accents in energetic rock, punk, hardcore, or metal. It is intended for breaks, choruses, and high-impact transitions. In softer contexts, its very present response demands greater control.
What is the thickness of the Holy China 19-inch?
The thin thickness facilitates cymbal opening and response, even at moderate volume.
Is the bell raw or brilliant?
The high bell has a raw finish, while the rest of the cymbal features a brilliant finish. This construction enhances a direct and raw feeling under the stick.
