Review: "When I struck the 12" Jingle Filter China (positioned with the jingles down), its prayed high-register notes into the air. This proved a nice contrast to a favorite 18" crash-ride cymbal of mine that produces a dark hiss. Feeling satisfied with this, I positioned the cymbal with the jingles facing up. Unfortunately, whacking it repeatedly bent it out of shape. Popping it back into place solved the problem, but I became slightly tentative thereafter.

While this cymbal is obviously not made of the strongest alloy, it occurred to me that this was a deliberate move on Meinl’s part. The malleable, light quality of the cymbal is the key to its bright sonic characteristics"
