MEINLClassics Custom Dark Heavy Ride Cymbal 20 in.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Meinl’s 20-inch Classics Custom Dark Heavy Ride combines a dark finish and B10 bronze construction with a heavy weight and oversized bell. Its ride voice stays focused around clearly defined stick attack and a short sustain, while the bell adds a cutting ping with some wash. That gives rock and metal drummers a ride pattern that remains articulate in dense arrangements, with the option to lean into a bigger bell sound when the part calls for it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and metal ride patterns that need clear stick definition in dense arrangements.
- Players who use the bell for a cutting ping with a touch of wash.
