About this listing
Why the hell spend $380 on a Meinl 20” that you can’t even hear first? That would suck!
Behold! Listen to your heart’s content! And you need not sacrifice condition - this Meinl is Immaculate in the bag. And this is the robust 20" version.
Meinl Pure Alloy EXTRA HAMMERED 20” Crash Ride in Perfect shape!
Check out the craftsmanship on this! Crazy cool! And with deep hammering that adds a layer of complexity.
Meinl Describes this cymbal as:“The Pure Alloy Extra Hammered Crash-Ride is a cymbal you can be confident in, and when taken on a gig, it will function however you need. As a crash, it opens easily with a warm voice and medium sustain allowing it to be used in any musical application. As a ride, it features great separation between the stick definition on top and the warm wash underneath, and the bell is clear and pronounced providing plenty of cut when needed. This is a cymbal that any working drummer would benefit from having in their cymbal bag.”
Pure poetry! Except this sounds semi-dark and complex to me.
Weighing in at a lovely 2182 grams this Meinl plays like a great FULL Crash or Crash Ride. The tone is semi-dark with a subtle, glassy shimmer and projects quite well without clanking.
The bell is strong and as promised, this 20” makes a great ride with a much stronger stick attack on top than the crash.
Being the large 20" it gives you the extra gear of fullness and gives you a wall of white noise when you lay into it.
Dark. FULL. Medium Lower Pitched. Broad spread. Still responsive at medium volumes but definitely cuts through a mix with ease!
No issues. Immaculate in the bag. Only played for the video. That’s it. Have a listen and buy with confidence!
