How to choose
Choose a china by size, since smaller ones speak faster and larger ones sound heavier and darker.
Beginner
A Sabian B8X or SBR china in a smaller size like 14 or 16 inch is an easy way to try the sound without spending too much. Mount it at an angle on a boom arm rather than flat, and let it ring out fully to hear its full character before muting it.
Intermediate
Players building out their setup often try a T-Cymbals T-Classic china for a different flavour of trash than their crashes give. Compare a couple of sizes side by side, since the jump from 14 to 18 inch changes both volume and sustain noticeably.
Expert
Experienced players reaching for a Meinl Byzance Brilliant or Zildjian K china usually want a specific accent sound for a section of a song. Keep the cymbal on its own boom arm away from other cymbals so it has room to move and ring freely.

About Chinas
A china cymbal has a trashy, explosive sound used for accents and effects rather than steady timekeeping, and most drummers add one once they have their core cymbals set.
This page has chinas in a range of sizes and finishes, from the affordable Sabian SBR and B8X models to the T-Cymbals range and the Meinl Byzance Brilliant china.
