16" Meinl Filter China - Traditional finish

Product Description

The Meinl Generation X Filter China is a 16" china cymbal with a traditional finish, developed together with Thomas Lang. The holes cut through the cymbal give it a short, distinct, and spicy sound, making it a great effects cymbal for modern setups.

Generation X is Meinl's award-winning series for players who want to explore new musical territory without breaking the bank. The cymbals in the series are tonally matched to each other, so the Filter China fits naturally alongside other Generation X models.

Sound Character

The small holes running through the cymbal shorten the sustain and produce a fast, distinct sound with a quick decay. Quite different from a standard china's long, raw wash. The result is a cymbal that cuts through the mix for short accents and effect-driven fills.

Construction

The cymbal is cast in Meinl's FX9 alloy: 69% copper, 15% zinc, 15% manganese, and 1% aluminum. This alloy was developed specifically for the Generation X series and contributes to its spicy, distinctive sound.

Who It's For

A great pick for players who like to experiment with sound and want a short, distinct effect cymbal to complement their crashes and rides. Whether you play rock, pop, or more exploratory styles.
