Kaaos effect china

When you want a cymbal that slashes through the mix with bold coloration, the Kaaos Effect China delivers in spades. With a bright, trashy voice, this cymbal opens instantly and cuts hard — making it perfect for accents, dramatic transitions, or adding character in stacks.

Available in sizes 10″, 12″, 14″, 16″, 17″, 18″, 19″, and 20″, the Kaaos Effect China is built as paper-thin — this delicate construction is part of its expressiveness. Its polished (brilliant) finish enhances projection and sparkle, while effect holes increase the trashiness and bite. According to the specs, it is rated sound: quite bright; pitch: mid high / mid; sustain: short; volume: medium high.

The combination of brightness, trashiness, and short sustain means each hit speaks clearly and vanishes quickly, offering crisp punctuation rather than lingering resonance. Because it’s an effect cymbal, it is naturally more delicate — meant to be handled with care or used in stacks. As noted on the product page: cracks starting from “effect holes” are not covered under warranty — a standard practice across cymbal makers.

Whether used alone, layered with crashes or splashes, or stacked with chinas and effects, the Kaaos Effect China offers you sharp, expressive textures — especially in more aggressive, experimental, or transitional sections of your playing.

Please notice that effect cymbals are very delicate instruments and need to be treated accordingly- either played cautiously or as part of stack cymbal. Cracks starting from “effect holes” will not be refunded under warranty terms. This is common procedure that most (if not all) cymbal manufacturers follow. We are sure you understand the reasoning behind this.
