Review: "When I struck the 12" Jingle Filter China (positioned with the jingles down), its prayed high-register notes into the air. This proved a nice contrast to a favorite 18" crash-ride cymbal of mine that produces a dark hiss. Feeling satisfied with this, I positioned the cymbal with the jingles facing up. Unfortunately, whacking it repeatedly bent it out of shape. Popping it back into place solved the problem, but I became slightly tentative thereafter.

While this cymbal is obviously not made of the strongest alloy, it occurred to me that this was a deliberate move on Meinl’s part. The malleable, light quality of the cymbal is the key to its bright sonic characteristics"

Review: "Jingle Filter chinas are essentially minichinas with three pairs of jingles attached. Each cymbal is also perforated with holes that range from 5mm (10" model) to 7mm (12" and 14" models).

Each Jingle Filter china opens with a sizzle of the jingles while the cymbal rings on below. The sustain is quite surprising, with all three Jingle Filter chinas sounding a bit like a set of dirty chime bars."
