The Meinl Soundcaster Fusion China Cymbal offers a combination of trashiness and brilliance. The close lathing at the edge provides an enhanced washy sound. It combines two different finishes in one cymbal. The lathed surface section has a thinner edge due to its close lathing compared to the unlathed, brilliant finish area at the middle of the cymbal. These different thicknesses produce a range of warm and shimmering sounds with an enhanced wash.
