Drummers around the world love the sound and feel of the Pure Alloy series and have been urging Meinl to create thinner cymbals out of the alloy. After extensive research and development, Meinl has answered the players' wishes with the introduction of the Meinl Pure Alloy Custom series! Made with the same Pure Alloy you know and love, these medium-heavy cymbals have a softer attack with a shimmering wash and crisp, penetrating bell. Featuring a smoked-bronze finish on the top with a brilliantly polished bottom, these cymbals make for an eye-catching addition to any kit. The Pure Alloy Custom Medium-heavy Crash provides the perfect balance of attack and sustain with an openness you expect from a Meinl cymbal.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Pure Alloy: traditionally crafted to deliver a classic sound





Pure Alloy cymbals represent a classic twist on Meinl's innovative sound. Featuring a fully lathed surface with a computer-controlled hammering pattern, these cymbals look and sound great. 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.





Made 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.
