Traditional finish with a fully lathed surface. Shimmering stick response with plenty of stick definition. Outstanding chick with a full bodied sizzle when played open. Effortless, clean cut sounds. This is Meinl Pure Alloy. A timeless voice formed with fully lathed surfaces allows them to be expressive in virtually any style. Their refined nature has two sides: polished definition met by a velvety wash that encompasses a full tonal spectrum with plenty of mids. Shimmering, smooth sounds bounce right along with your stick to create a reactive touch that extends through all dynamic levels. These cymbals cut with agility. Blanketing their superb stick definition is a medium to long sustain that plays out with just the right amount of strength and temperate undertone.
