'''Meinl's Description:''' [[Meinl China#Soundcaster Fusion|<<< - >>>]]<br><br />
'''Review:''' "The 18" China had a shimmering attack that didn't hurt to listen to. It cut extremely well, and the sound didn't distort when I really laid into it. What this cymbal lacked, in my opinion, were some of the lower overtones that make an 18" China trashy and deep. The entire Fusion line seems to be about a certain amount of cleanliness, and this cymbal falls in line with the rest of the series. But I prefer some more grit in my China crash, regardless of the setting. If you're looking for a pristine China sound, though, this would be a good way to go." <br><br />
