Meinl Generation X Jingle Filter China

[lordlors]

Hi guys. I was looking for an effects cymbal to add in my drum kit when i saw this unique and cool cymbal from Meinl (one of the big four cymbal makers). It's called Meinl Generation X Jingle Filter China. As you have read its name, it has three jingles attached to it so when you hit it, it has a rattling sound.

Here is its website: =SERIES&tx_twmeinlcymbals_products[navId]=6&cHash=74e5f69e6a]http://meinlcymbals.com/products.html?tx_twmeinlcymbals_products[mode]=SERIES&tx_twmeinlcymbals_products[navId]=6&cHash=74e5f69e6a
Just look for the Jingle Filter China and try the sample sound.

So what can you say about this cymbal? Is it available in the Philippines?

nasubukan ko na ito pati yung ibang filter ni thomas lang. Kakaiba nga ang tunog nito.. kung ano ung tunog dun sa meinl site, close na close don.. parang medyo manipis na yero na may halong ibang material ang dating sa akin... short sustain, iba yung pagkabright nya relative sa ibang china.

hindi ako sure kung available sa philippines...

hindi ko alam kung paano ko maibabagay dun sa music na gusto ko pero medyo specialized ang music na pwede nya pag-apply-an..

best way it to really try it pero yun nga eh kung available..

feeling ko magiging katulad nung experience ko sa johnny rabb cymbals.. nung nakahawak ako, ang hirap gamitin sa context ng music other than ung mga jungle and electronic music.. tapos ang hirap din kuhanin nung tunog na naririnig kapag si johnny rabb ang tumutugtog... sabi nga nung iba, kahit anong tugtugin ni rabb gumaganda ang tunog.. eh ehhe.. tapos parang ang dali para sa kanya.. he hehe..

yun lang po, hope that helps..

thanks for the insight. could you elaborate more on your opinion of this cymbal? do you think you wouldn't use this cymbal much whenever you create a drum solo, practice drums, or play songs? I'm aware this isn't available in the Philippines but I will be going to USA this Dec 2008 and plan to buy a new cymbal specifically effects cymbal to complement my kit. (BTW, i'm not good with tagalog because i'm a Dumagueteno/Bisaya  )

may nakita na ako nyan sa cubao branch ata yun. not sure. yung may tansan na version . ang nipis ng tunog. watch his videos from his DVDs, lahat ng cymbals ni thomas lang ang nipis

i personally love the sound of the filter china. very unique, and i don't think other cymbal companies have an equivalent-sounding model for it. i don't know anything about the "jingle" version though. siguro nasa taste mo yan. punta ka sa meinl site, they have clips for most of their cymbal lines.

honestly ako personally mahihirapan akong gamitin ito sa context ng songs na gusto ko.. Kung magamit ko man, sobrang limited at siguro ilang beses lang.. Ang suggestion ko, since pupunta ka sa US, punta ka sa mga local drum shops tapos testingin mo.. Pakinggan mo and let your imagination fly.. Tignan mo kung based dun sa narinig mo eh magagamit mo sya..  Minsan kasi iba ung nakikita sa video, napapanuod na ginagawa ng mga endorsers and iba din ung lalabas na tunog kapag tayo na ang papalo.

BTW, kung makikita mo rin at mahahawakan mo yung sticks ni thomas lang, mabigat yon at malaki tapos malakas din pumalo si thomas lang so tingin ko isa din yon sa nagcocontribute ng sound na gumagana para sa kanya. If you have big sticks or is a heavy hitter, then baka mag work din sayo yon (assuming of course fit dun sa song)

Marami pa ring ibang effects cymbals eh...  pero tignan mo rin, tingin ka online, dami ka makikita na effects, depende lang talaga sa gusto mong tunog eh..

I think yung trash hat ni benny greb ok yon, medyo mas flexible (though hindi sya china he hehe) . Meron din ibang effects tulad nugn sa factory metal. Marami rin akong nakitang mga artists na gumagamit nugn mga EFX ng sabian, baka gusto mo ring tignan..

ang filter chinas kasi, para siyang zildjian efx, sabian ozone, etc. so white noise siya. pero dahil china, short sustain lang ang sound, maririnig to lagi sa mga palo ni chris adler(wooohh!!). ngayon tungkol sa availability, hindi ko sure kung meron na dito, siguro you can call their main branch. ang nakita ko kasi na gen x sa sm bacoor, is yung rabb pack, which consists of the safari hats, crash and ride. iba alloy nito. fx9 alloy ang tawag nila, not sure kung anung pgkakahalo. pero the best ang meinl!! hahaha.
