• Made with computer-controlled hammering for an even, controlled sound
• Recommended maintenance with Meinl Cymbal Cleaner and Meinl Cymbal Protectant

Sound Character

The character is described as complex, full-bodied, musical, dark and warm. As a crash it opens up easily with a warm sound and medium sustain. As a ride it provides good separation between a clear stick sound and warm crash qualities, while the bell cuts through clearly and prominently. Volume sits at medium to low and sustain at medium to short, making the cymbal easy to control in a mix.

Construction

Pure Alloy is made in Meinl's German factory using computer-controlled hammering, a manufacturing method that reflects a Central European, controlled, bright sound character with good evenness. The series includes ride cymbals with a nice, woody attack surrounded by a fine spray of overtones, as well as hi-hats with a tight sound and clear attack. The crash cymbals in the series come in sizes from 16" to 22" and share the same bright, clean sound character.

Who It's For

A good fit if you play rock, pop, fusion, R&B, reggae, or work in the studio and want a cymbal that works well as both crash and ride without compromise.

The PA22EHCR is available in 22", and the same model is also offered in a 20" size if you'd prefer a slightly more compact option.
