meinl classics 18" China [Cymbal Test] by LarS P

[goodnamepending]

This is the perfect cymbal for a stack, the extra stain allows it to ring out a little longer than most stacks, but because of the huge attack it has there is a powerful effect from it(i put a 14" filter china on top)

[1997Timbo]

don't buy this cymbal my friend has it and it has no power at all and it is very ringy!

[gAbR1eLcZ]

@1997Timbo no power??I have this cymbal...and i´m shiting in my pants every time I hit it...but...i don´t like it...its like...crasch.china ....too loud and sustain is too long..:/

[tsobaby95]

hey man loosen it they sound great when there loose very trashy i got two 14 and 16 and there amazing

[ibernalq]

Nice.. Really it sounds good for me... I bought it 3 years ago and still like it... so I got now 12 and 14 inches... they are not so wash as 18, but got fast decay...

[MrDong99]

they warp too easily

[MrWalrusblubber]

lmao this is garbage you dont even know how to use it your barely hitting it

[ISk8Emerica7]

hahaha i think it might beat my wuhan X)

[A7Xafterlife94]

Dude that sounded like shit...haha thanks for the vid man. Now not to get that now.

[jdogg288]

why do you have egg cartons? it's egg crates you put not cartons.

[mariusel666]

[GEORGEPANAMADRUMS]

[pokemetalfan]

[Magnesiur]

I love the sound of chinas ;D

[GerMaggot555]

I think it doesn´t .. it is very agressive I like cymbals like that ... and if it sucks why you had bought it? oO idiot

[checkthatman]

@GerMaggot555 I bought it because it was cheap. And it actually sounds like shit if you ever heard a Zildjian Oriental china or an Anatolian china. But as my budget is limited I had to compromise. So if you've got a low budget it does its job. But please don't say that it'd sound good...

[pnutskater96]

@checkthatman ebay im in the same situation as you im 13 and no money so check ebay i got a Zildjian Oriental china 18 for 125 140 with shipping and handilling

[JeffreyDrumpants]

@checkthatman if you want a budget china that sounds great, get a wuhan. those things are beautiful

[pieman963]

@checkthatman wuhan chinas are pretty decent for a cheap price ;O

[742617000027j96]

@GerMaggot555 I agree with you, i think it sounds real good, i actually think im going to buy the HCS china, JUST because it sounds nice! :D

[GerMaggot555]

This china sounds awamzing ... but only in reallife ... in this video it sucks ...

[checkthatman]

@GerMaggot555 It always sucks. Not only in this video.

[TrummiTanel]

@checkthatman I agree with you.

[jeanchristian12345]

@checkthatman 

[comatosepuma]

Thats a really bright sounding china. I prefer dark.

[pipapoist]

crap...if you want some really good sounding cymbals (all handmade) check out Diril- cymbals. i love 'em...

[paulhab12]

stop fucking around and smack the fuck out of it!

[FlorianWaletzko]

thanks i´m going to buy this i want to hear how they sounds thanks =)

[ibernalq68]

I have the same and its a good china, nice sound, obviously not the best as top lines, but do its work. I also have a 12wuhan china and it is too raw, so I bought a 12 classic china.. I like this one too.

[Thetawaves10]

Ah, i just love it whne people post "that sounds like shit", unless it actually sounds like taking a shit when you hit the cymbal i doubt the cymbal would be shit, why else would someone make it and market it?, someones gotta be buying them and liking them.

[SS96Drummer]

That sounds like shit IMO

[Drumeerr]

I like that china//...it's cheap and it sound very nice....!!

[SicSociophobiac]

Wuhan are cheaper, and they sound a lot nicer.

[Drumeerr]

yes they are good but they crack very easy..so you'd better take a classic that will not crack than take take a wuhan that will crack maybe in 5 months..

[Blackenthecursedsun1]

@Drumeerr Mine cracked well before that..

[jox124]

Which ones are best for me? I just sold my Paiste PST3 cymbals and I think to buy Paiste Alpha or Meinl Classics. Which is best? Meinl is cheaper and they're good too, but there isn't Meinl Classics 19" crash on Thomann. I like to use 17,18,19" crashes, so if I choose Classics, I could only 16,17,18". Very difficult for me, even I've been playin' drums for 3 years.

[azurequu]

Alpha is great symbal. I'd say byt the Paiste's.

And I think 18" is the best.

[metaxisthedrummer]

Tip: Meinl classics logos, are not removed when polishing the cymbals with cymbal cleaners.

Sorry for my english

[pushon10]

rli?

[metaxisthedrummer]

???

[pushon10]

i was replying to somedy who must have deleted their comment. Nevermind

[Pandanobear]

[109deadman]

[riico11oncp]

Sounds like crap

[ScalzoValerio]

Frying pan

[najtrows]

its gonna be my first china.

gonna get it for 70 bucks

[underoathfan8]

i sold the 16" for $50. i'll never use any other china cymbal, other than Wuhan. the 18" and the 20" sound absolutely superb

[dangleesac102]

look at the sabian devastation china it is so good

but wuhans are hella sick

[BobLawless]

i just got this for 20 pound is that good?

[checkthatman]

it's great for 2o pounds ;)

[padoindahouse]

yeah i have it 2 and its pretty good 4 the prize

[wiirluvenit]

Man that actually sounds good!!!

[sc4tom68]

i think i will buy that one, sound nice and it's cheap (look the oriental trash...)

[Jacksoni69]

that doesn't sound really good in that video, but it really is.

[checkthatman]

well if u turn it arround it sounds much better but i didn't want it to break.
