A great mid-range china
Anonymous 05.04.2015
I purchased this cymbal from Thomann just over a year ago, and I have been very impressed with it. It is built to last, and it sounds great. The decay is longer than I was expecting, and to start with the sound even slightly overpowered my 17" Zildjian A Custom crash, but the sound of this cymbal has improved with some use (and dirt!). It's great for live shows where the cymbals can't be mic'd, as it cuts through the mix nicely. I bought this as a mid-price replacement for an older china and was planning to replace it with another Zildjian, but the sound and tone of this cymbal has grown on me, and a year later it's still part of my setup.

Not amazing, but good china!

Fantastic overall Meinl quality on the cymbal.

The downside for me, is that the cymbal does not fully projects itself and can't really cut through mix and live. In the other hand, the 18'' does that pretty well, highly recommend to get that instead of the 16.
