This cymbal, designed by Meinl in cooperation with Thomas Lang, With a fast, sharp and sinister edge, these Meinl Filter chinas explode and then move out of the way for whatever lick might come next. They are quieter than most china cymbals, and have a short sustain due to the waved edge.

Meinl's Generation X Series offers a full range of special effect sounds previously not available. Years of input have led to the FX9 alloy and the unique shapes and configurations. Fast, explosive attack with quick decay make Gen X cymbals fit where other cymbals won't. Add a crazy new tone color to your setup today.

Meinl Generation X Filter China Cymbal Features:

  • Different sounds
  • Innovative concepts
  • High-tech computerized manufacturing

A short yet intense China that punches like Jet Li! Order yours today.

I got this cymbal about a month ago. This china is beast. It deff. punched through everything. but i noticed it was really thin, and would probably crack... and it did. but it was worth it. i had it long enough to record my bands demo album... myspace.com/ofelsewhere. ♥. haha. its a great cymbal, but doesn't last long.

I have had this cymbal since it came out, however long that has been, and I has been hammered on it like a nail. No cracks or dents. Maybe I'm lucky, and I got one good one, out of a bunch of crap ones. Well I love the sound of this thing, and I could imagine since it is a china it wouldn't sound that different if it did get a crack.

Oh did I mention that it is inexpenisve

Exciting....then BIG letdown

I received this cymbal when I bought a cymbal pack. I figured that it would sound like garbage seeing as how it was a "free giveaway," but I was pleasantly surprised. This cymbal had a really trashy, quick sound that it was awesome for accents. I played the cymbacl for about 5 months and through only 2 gigs and noticed a crack forming. I took the cymbal off and inspected it and found that there are at least 4 more hairline cracks forming...and all at the little crimped places at the end of the cymbal. I thought that these spots might turn weak....and I was COMPLETELY right. Very disappointed...not so much in the performance, but because I REALLY liked this cymbals sound.

This cymbal is great. I own the 14" cymbal, and I love it. It sounds good when your doing accents with your snare, and it doesn't ring as long so it just has a great fly in on listeners.
