Detail 01
Medium weight
Thicker than thin cymbals, so higher pitch, faster stick response and more projection. Cuts through loud guitars without cracking easily.

MEINLClassics Custom Medium Cymbal Set
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A matched set of MEINL Classics Custom Medium cymbals at $669.99. For a drummer replacing a starter pack with cymbals that hold up on a gig.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Upgrading from the stock cymbals that came with a beginner kit
- Loud rock, pop and worship gigs where cymbals must cut
- Drummers who want one consistent sound family, not mixed leftovers
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Quiet jazz and brush work — medium weights sit too loud
- Players wanting dark, dry, trashy character
- Anyone needing a specific size layout; a set fixes your choices
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
Matched set, one series
All pieces share the same voice, so crashes and ride blend instead of fighting each other in a room mix.
Detail 03
Classics Custom line
MEINL's step above their entry-level bronze. Meant for stage volume rather than practice-room duty.
Detail 04
$669.99 for the set
Roughly mid-tier per cymbal. Cheaper than buying the same pieces separately, but you take the sizes as bundled.
Detail 05
Cymbal set, not a kit
You get cymbals only. Stands, felts, sleeves and clutch are separate purchases.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check exactly which sizes are in the set before ordering
- 02No stands, felts, sleeves or hi-hat clutch included
- 03Medium weights are loud — plan for volume in small rooms
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are these good enough to gig with?
Yes. Medium-weight Classics Custom cymbals are built for stage volume and project well against amplified guitars and bass.
02Do I need to buy stands too?
Yes. Cymbal sets include cymbals only. You'll need a hi-hat stand plus a boom or straight stand for each crash and ride.
03Will these work for jazz?
Not well. Medium weight means higher pitch and more volume than most jazz playing wants. Look at thin or dry-finish cymbals instead.
04Is a set cheaper than buying pieces one at a time?
Generally yes, and everything matches tonally. The trade-off is that you accept the sizes as bundled rather than choosing each one.
