Meinl Extra Hammered Ride

Stick attack shines through while maintaining complex tone. An outstanding blend of strong definition, old-school warmth, and a wash that supports but never overtakes. Great stick control with fast, energetic styles. Medium-thin weight. Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze.¹

Effortless touch and clean sound. This is Meinl Pure Alloy. A timeless voice formed with fully lathed surfaces allows them to be expressive in virtually any style. Their refined nature has two sides: polished definition met by a velvety wash that encompasses a full tonal spectrum. Shimmering, smooth sounds bounce right along with your stick to create a reactive touch that extends through all dynamic levels. These cymbals cut with agility. Blanketing their superb stick definition is a sustain that plays out with just the right amount of strength and balanced wash.

The Pure Alloy Extra Hammered Ride is a medium weight ride cymbal developed for clear, dry stick definition with a warm body and short sustain. The pronounced stick attack has a rich and musical articulation due to the extra hammering throughout and also produces a deep, complexity underneath the stick. The unique combination of clear definition and a warm voice allows this ride cymbal to be used in wide variety of musical applications.²
