Meinl's award-winning Generation X cymbals are all about innovation and sonic character. Once you play them and give a listen you'll understand why. The fresh, contemporary sounds of Generation X cymbals are intended to be consciously different and were designed after receiving input and cooperation from some of music's most respected drummers to give you more creativity and leeway as you play.

The china cymbal in particular is designed with five large cut-outs and a wavy edge to deliver a wide, explosive attack and a dark, trashy sound. It's this exceptionally well-defined shape that makes the Generation X China so phenomenal and remarkably fun to play.

Usable as a crash or china for accenting and punctuating music, it delivers an extreme trashy sound with a lot of aggressive bite. Meinl Generation X China Crash is ideal for experimental and unconventional drummers looking to explore new sound territories so they can refine and diversify their style.

The Generation X series' FX9 alloy construction and their unique shapes and configurations were inspired by input from several renowned drummers. High-tech computerized manufacturing process ensures the sonic consistency and reliability that Meinl is famous for. Jeff Gilbert of Kutlass proudly claims the 17" Generation X China as part of his cymbal kit.
