Meinl Generation X China Crashes review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Meinl Generation-X 17" China Crash cymbal delivers a wonderfully trashy and explosive sound, thanks to its unique design incorporating Meinl's exclusive Soundwave edge. While it excels in creating fierce, energetic music, its aggressive nature may not suit all genres. The cymbal's build, with machine-applied hammering and lathing, ensures durability, though it comes with a hefty price tag. Designed for modern drummers, it blurs the line between crash and china, offering rapid decay and a distinctive tonal character. Ideal for those seeking an unconventional cymbal, but its niche appeal might limit its versatility.
