Flimsy construction but in all fairness, I really love the millennium China's, they cut through mix like an axe through candy floss! I cracked this from the inner part after a few months but it doesn't effect the sound. I'm still using as part of my practice and regular giggin because no other china I've used is as loud or aggressive as this. Often people compliment it after a show and are very surprised it's not an AAX or A custom but a budget cymbal.
