Meinl Generation X X-Treme Stack 12/14in Overview

Meinl Product Overview

MEINL's innovative and award-winning Generation X cymbals pave the way to a completely new world of revolutionary cymbals. These cymbals have sounds which are consciously different and aimed towards advanced, experimental and unconventional drummers who are motivated to explore new sound territories. MEINL's Generation X cymbals offer contemporary and modern sounds which were designed in cooperation with some of todays most remarkable drummers.

The bottom cymbal contains jingles which enable an exceptional sizzling attack. An adjustable sustain is possible by using the wing nut of the cymbal stand.

By putting two or more cymbals on top of each other, new and unique sounds can be created. Modern music requires new and hip sounds which can't be realised with conventional cymbals.

By stacking cymbals, radical sounds are achieved which reflect the drummers creativity and open mind. Unconventional white noises and trashy effects are sounds demanded by many producers in today's studio world. From a playing standpoint, stacks are used for fast accents and special effect sounds. Due to the fact that they are naturally muffled, they can also be used for keeping time, similar to the function of hihats or ride cymbals.

Sounds great and does exactly what I wanted it to do. One concern is the strength of the rivets that hold the 'jingles' in place in the lower cymbal. I am far from a heavy player and managed to have one fail after about five minutes playing. I was able to fix it, but it doesn't inspire confidence. I have some great quality kit from Meinl, so this is unusual.
