Detail 01
20-inch diameter
The common ride size. Enough body to project, still quick to respond, and fits standard cymbal bags and stands.

MEINLClassics Custom Extreme Metal Ride Cymbal 20 in.
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
20-inch ride aimed at heavy music. For drummers who need the ride to stay audible through loud guitars and fast double-kick passages.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Metal and hardcore drummers playing under high-gain guitars
- Fast riding patterns where notes must stay separate
- Players who lean on the bell for breakdowns and accents
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz and brush work needing a dark, washy stick sound
- Quiet rooms, church or low-volume gigs
- Drummers who want a subtle, blending crash-ride
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Ride cymbal
Built for sustained timekeeping on the bow, not for crashing. Crashing a heavy ride hard shortens its life.
Detail 03
Extreme metal voicing
Cuts through loud guitars with a defined stick attack instead of washing out into a blur of sustain.
Detail 04
Bell
The raised center gives a loud, separate pitch for accents and riff doubling, distinct from the bow's ping.
Detail 05
Weight class for heavy playing
Heavier cymbals give more stick definition and less spread, so fast patterns stay countable.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cymbal only; stand, felts, sleeve and wing nut are not included
- 02Use a plastic sleeve and felts, since metal-on-metal contact cracks cymbals
- 03Loud by design; test it in your room before committing to a small stage
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use it as a crash?
Occasional accents are fine, but a ride built for definition does not open up like a crash and will crack if you attack it hard regularly.
02Is 20 inches the right ride size for me?
It is the standard starting point. Go 22 inches for more volume and wash, 18 or 20 for faster response and tighter control.
03How loud is it?
It is built to be heard over amplified guitars. In a small room or an acoustic setting it will dominate.
04Does it come with a stand?
No. You need a cymbal stand plus felt washers and a plastic sleeve to protect the mounting hole.
