Dynamic Thin Ride from Meinl
The Meinl Pure Alloy 20-inch thin ride 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 harkens back to the rides of yesteryear regarding both sound and appearance. Its thin weight affords the Meinl Pure Alloy Thin Ride a delicate balance of crisp attack and lingering sustain, with a bright bell definition that won't get lost in the mix and a dynamic openness when crashed — all with the complex characteristics you've come to expect from Meinl.

Traditional, fully lathed surface

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.
