I'm looking for an effects cymbal such as china or splash and I saw this innovative and unique cymbal. It got me very interested in it because it has jingles from a tambourine in it and it produces a sound like no other cymbal. I already have a Paiste 15" 2002 Sound Edge Hi-Hat, Zildjian 14" K Dark Thin Crash, Paiste 20" Formula 602 Thin Crash and a Zildjian 20" ZXT Medium Ride.
What can you say about this specific Meinl cymbal? Is Meinl a good brand because i've been keeping an eye for brands other than the ones i already have. BTW, I'm not really good in drums. Maybe this cymbal isn't for amateurs but does it really matter? Also, it has a price tag of $70-$100 depending on the sizes. I have no plan to buy a cymbal for now but I'm planning to buy one in the future.
They do make great effects cymbals.... kind of their bread and butter compared to other brands.
Don't knock doing some things on your own as well. Say buying a less expensive cymbal like wuhan, B8, etc... then take them to a percussion store to be drilled and have jingles installed.
I've thought about doing that with sleigh bells on a china... I don't think I have seen anyone do that yet.
