Meinl 20" Raker Ride Cymbal - Vintage B8 BronzeVintage B8 Bronze Ride – Bright, Cutting & Powerful 80s–90s Sound
The Meinl 20" Raker Ride is a vintage classic cymbal produced between 1985 and 2005/2006, widely respected for its aggressive tone and precision. It is especially popular in heavier music styles and modern rock-driven drum setups.
Made from B8 bronze alloy, the Raker Ride delivers a very bright, cutting, and explosive sound character with strong stick definition and minimal wash, making it ideal for precise rhythmic articulation.
Its powerful bell is one of its standout features, producing a loud, penetrating tone that cuts through dense guitar walls and high-volume live mixes with ease.
Depending on the version (Medium or Heavy), it ranges from controlled sustain with added musicality to a drier, more focused and aggressive response.
