Review: "Thomas Lang was already using two of his Meinl signature 14" Filter Chinas when he requested that the company design a model that he could use for playing time—similar to a tambourine— and that also would produce a China-like sound for fills.

The 14" Jingle Filter China was a triple threat. First, it acted as an odd sound effect that drew attention from audience members and my bandmates alike. Second, it was a general rattling noise-maker (thanks to the three jingles). And third, it was a penetrating and unexpectedly bright China. It performed very much like its Filter sibling, but with more buzz—undoubtedly the byproduct of the rivets allowing the tambourine jingles to jangle freely without being out of control. Both cymbals were good for keeping time and for the occasional distinctive fill, allowing me to make rhythmic and musical statements."
