Hi,
I know they're not the same, but if you were forced to classify chinese cymbals as either splash cymbals or crash cymbals, what would you prefer?

a china is a china 
I mostly put them in the non-crash category, which is quite big.
I have a hat I stupidly call the "hattourine", since it's a slice of a hat with bolted lots of little tambourine-a-like hats. anybody know it's name?

well there are over 5000 characters in the chinese alphabet, none of the symbols look like a splash or crash to me?
Here what babelfish says splash= 飛濺 Crash= 崩潰

Neither? I guess if I had to choose, they're more of a crash cymbal. You don't hear ride patterns often on a splash
If you're talking something that is very "china" sounding, something like a Wuhan maybe, then I'd call it an FX cymbal or some such thing.
