Pros
Reproduce studio-like sounds and white noise effects in a live environment. Pushes beyond the usual sonic boundaries.
Cons
These sounds need to be used sparingly.
Verdict
Expanding your sonic palette can only be a good thing, and Meinl's Generation X cymbals enable this to be achieved quite frugally. They can be used to reproduce studio-like sounds in a live setting or they can simply add some seriously leftfield sounds and textures to your kit, offering far more in the way of control and options than if you made do with stacking old, broken cymbals together. As with all effects and accent accessories, for maximum impact use sparingly.
