Dynamic Thin Crash
The Meinl Pure Alloy 16-inch thin crash is a great example why Sweetwater drummers who prefer more traditional cymbals hold Meinl’s Pure Alloy series in high regard. Its fully lathed surface and traditional craftsmanship harken back to the crashes of yesteryear regarding both sound and appearance. Its thin weight affords the Meinl Pure Alloy Thin Crash a delicate balance of crisp attack, bright bell definition, and a quick decay that makes its statement before allowing other elements in the mix to speak — all with the complex characteristics you've come to expect from Meinl.

Traditional, fully lathed surface
Fully lathed surfaces are a big departure from the raw, earthy cymbals Meinl is best known for today. This process gives all Meinl Pure Alloy cymbals a higher wash-to-stick ratio — more like traditional cymbals — for a sweet, lingering sustain.
Crafted by drummers for drummers
Meinl's cymbal innovation stems from both a deep love for the craft and a desire to provide drummers with the sounds they're buzzing about. Whether you're into the traditional Pure Alloy series or the modern-dry Byzance line, Sweetwater is confident that Meinl Cymbals has the sound you're after.
