Meinl Generation X GX-TB14/16/18 Thomas Lang Signature cymbal set

General

Meinl's Generation X series consists of state-of-the-art cymbals that have already won over many experimental, contemporary drummers. This signature cymbal set was developed in collaboration with Austrian drummer Thomas Lang. It consists of a 16-inch Synthetik Crash (GX-16SYC) and an 18-inch crash/ride (GX-18SC) and it also includes a free 14-inch Filter China.

Cymbal characteristics

The 16-inch Synthetik Crash is a refreshingly subtle cymbal that speaks quickly and then decays just as rapidly. A crash as fast as this one will feel right at home in many styles of electronic music or faster pop. In addition to this crash, the pack includes an 18-inch combination cymbal, the GX-18SC, which can be used in two ways. It can be as subtle as a ride, giving light accents without too much depth, and it can be as present as a crash without ever becoming brash or overstaying its welcome. The included 14-inch Filter China is effectively a miniature version of a regular china. It can sound trashy when it needs to, but the volume level is a lot more civilised and it has less sustain than conventional chinas.

Thomas Lang Signature cymbal set

These cymbals were developed to produce a semi-electronic sound, and they’re quite versatile, as the incorporation of electronic elements into an acoustic drumming setup has become pretty commonplace in contemporary, experimental music. As they are 'dB compressed', they maintain a pleasant volume, they're easy to play and have quite a versatile sound. Whether you're in the rehearsal space or the studio, with this set of unique cymbals you can add an array of refreshing new sounds to your palette.
