Modest add on
Looks good, built strong, doesn't cost too much and isn't in any way dramatic sounding.
It also really feels like it's build sturdy.
Since this is not meant to be hit on directly, it promises a long life span.
It's meant for cymbals and hi-hat hats. The cymbals are sizzling subtle at the end, and the tambourine effect is evenly subtle with normal hihat playing.
This also dampens the cymbal decay. Which opens up other possibilities. Like suddenly being able to play a China crash like a loud trash ride.
That's what makes this more versatile than the little chains, that just do the sizzling part, however those can be used on the snare are well and this... not really.
The effects from this thing will be enhanced with dedicated mixing, but I think it's true purpose is less effective for live play but more for recordings.
It will also be beter audible with softer sticks, like hot rods.
Can't go wrong for the money.
But if you're like me, who tries avoid unnecessary wear of the cymbal lettering, you'll notice you'll only put this on cymbals big enough for it not to have that issue.
Because this will scrape the letters on your cymbals right off with frequent use.
For people like me, that means I can't use it on any cymbal I want.

So Awesome
Really flexible tool for the drumset. Meinl could be triple the price and it would be worth it.
It brings a unique sound to any part of the kit: Snare, Hi Hat, floor tom, ride. Very distinct yet modern sound. On the ride it gives it a really aggressive sizzle.
I love this thing.

Cheap part for fun
Good quality ching ring... adds little bit more character to your hihat cymbals especially if you use dark cymbals! cheap, well built, easy to use and remove! 5 stars...

Does what it is supposed to
If you want a bit of variety and/or jingle feel to your cymbals or drums then this is great.
I love how you can use it to dampen cymbals, lengthen the sustain and spread of cymbals or even to enhance your snares spread further.

LOUD AND CHUNKY!
This gives your hi hats that extra “Chunk” and it’s VERY LOUD!

Well made, not perfect
While this ching ring is very well made, robust and largely undamaged by sticking, it does have its irks. it seems to work a lot better on the down beat, whereas there is a noticable volume drop on the down beat. Not awful, but not quite as good as you'd expect. personally prefer the type that mounts on the rod. This being said, it does the job to an acceptable standard and can be used in quieter settings. Again, the rod-mounting hi hat chings work slightly better for more Bonham style use of hi hat tambourines.

It goes ching
It will give your recordings a special twist, but your neighbours won't like it.

A good little drum gadget
As a drummer you can use these in prettifying much any was. In the hi-hat to get some tambourine effect or in the snare drum for a tambourine backbeat to say a couple.
It is nicely build so it won't damage your cymbals if you place it in the top.
I wouldn't recommend it as a hand tambourine thought.

Best cheap thing ever?
I've had the ching ring for two days now and have basically tried it on every drum surface I have - it works equally good on top of a hi-hat, ride, crash, toms and snare.
It's distinctive enough to cut through the mix and give you that little bit of extra shine even in loud metal setting and is not overpowering when played softly.
At this price point I fail to see any cons. Should have ordered more than one.
