Meinl Generation X Cymbals UK — Into Music Store

The Meinl Generation X Cymbals are one of the most distinctive and creative effects cymbal ranges available. Designed for drummers who want fast, sharp, and unconventional sounds, the Generation X range covers a wide variety of unique cymbal types — from FX Hats and Trash Hats to Filter Chinas, Electro Stacks, and the iconic Johnny Rabb Drumbal.

The FX Hats are available in 8" and 10", delivering a fast, cutting sound with short sustain. The Trash Hats come in two variants — the Benny Greb Trash Hat and the X-Treme Trash Hat, both in 12"/14" configurations. The Johnny Rabb Drumbal is a unique cymbal designed to be played with drumsticks like a drum, producing a percussive tone unlike anything else in the Meinl range — available in 8" and 10". The Electro Stacks in 8"/10" and 10"/12" deliver a short, explosive stack sound. The Thomas Lang Filter China range — available in standard and Jingle variants from 8" to 14" — produces a fast, sharp, almost sinister sound with a waved edge and short sustain that is quieter than most conventional chinas.
