A cutting, biting accent for your sound.
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.

I bought the 8 inch filter about 8 months ago and it's still in perfect working condition. No cracks, no warping, and no bending. The sound is incredible and perfect for accenting. I mean, thats what it's made for right?It is a very thin cymbal so treat it like a thin cymbal. I play death metal and all that fun stuff, but I don't smash the thing. If you want it to last long, play it with care.Buy this and you won't be dissapointed!

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.

Comments about Meinl Generation X Filter China Cymbal:
Overall I am very disappointed in this cymbal. I should have just spent the extra money and went with a 10" hand hammered china kang.
The bell of the cymbal is way too small. I bought it to stack on top of a splash but due to the size of the small bell, the cymbals do not even touch eachother.
I also do not like the thickness of the cymbal. It is much thicker than I expected.
There are other brands that make better quality cymbals at mch better prices.
Comments about Meinl Generation X Filter China Cymbal:
I'm not sure why people are saying this cymbal has a hard time cutting though, my only guess is they must be super soft hitters.
I just used this thing at an outdoor show and it had no problem cutting though. I play in a band with 2 drummers and this cymbal was able to cut through the other kit and the guitars with no problem. It has a short attack but is super bright and trashy. This cymbal sounds great. This is my first Meinl cymbal and I'm very impressed.
Comments about Meinl Generation X Filter China Cymbal:
This cymbal sounds cool but is unable to break through if you play heavier music. This is also a very weak cymbal. It took about 6 months before cracks developed around the holes and before long it was in pieces. Like I said it sounds cool, but lasting for as long as it does isn't worth your money. Go with a Zildjian Oriental Trash if you want the same sound but a stronger cymbal.
Comments about Meinl Generation X Filter China Cymbal:
I got this cymbal with a meinl pack about 2 years ago. First off it sounds amazing and is loud enough to cut through both guitarists a bassist and vocalist. Mine has lasted about a year and a half before developing any cracks. I cut them out with some tin snips and it has still lasted six months. Great buy... great value. I have no complaints. And by the way the holes in no way make it weaker.
Comments about Meinl Generation X Filter China Cymbal:
Ive had this cymbal for about 4 years now. Man this cymbal is the most brutal sounding cymbal i own. Ive been slamming on this thing for a long time and i have no problems with it what-so-ever.Anybody who's anybody who plays drum's should really invest in this cymbal.

Comments about Meinl Generation X Filter China Cymbal:
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. ϖ. haha. its a great cymbal, but doesn't last long.
Comments about Meinl Generation X Filter China Cymbal:
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

I bought this cymbal about a month ago and it cracked! It sounded amazing but it was a short life and I don't have money to buy a new cymbals every 4 weeks!
