Meinl China Cymbals

Meinl china cymbals inspire by letting you add some originality to your sound. Beginning drummers are usually more focused on perfecting backbeat and rhythm, but as your skill level improves, you'll probably grow more and more interested in experimenting with new sounds and techniques. And that's where the china cymbal comes in. Played for effect, it invites you to stay creative while staying true to your favorite musical style.

Chinas recall the shape and sound of the ancient Asian gongs. The accent sound they produce is dark, trashy and explosive by design. Most drummers will mount the china with the bell side down to take advantage of its unique sonic qualities.

When considering a china for your set-up, remember that like any other cymbal, chinas come in different sizes from 12" to 20" and in weights from thin to heavy. The smaller chinas have less sustain, while larger ones pepper your music with some distinct flavor.

With the mix of traditional techniques and modern manufacturing methods for china cymbals, Meinl has become the number one maker and distributor of some of the finest cymbals in the music industry. Whether you are a part-time drummer in a weekend house band or a seasoned pro, there's a Meinl china cymbal for you here.
