Meinl Cymbals

The company Meinl was founded in 1951 by Roland Meinl as a one-man operation for cymbals in a basement workshop. Now family-run in its third generation, Roland Meinl Musikinstrumente has grown into one of the biggest names in the manufacture of cymbals, percussion instruments and sound therapy instruments, with offices in Gutenstetten and Nashville, TN.

Meinl Cymbals are made at two locations. One production site is at the company headquarters in Franconian Gutenstetten. Since the new building in 2003 it has been continuously modernised and specialised in highly precise automated production and hammering. The series produced exclusively in Germany include, among others, HCS, Classics Custom, Classics Custom Dark, Classics Custom Dual as well as Pure Alloy and Pure Alloy Custom.

With the introduction in 2000 of the traditionally hand‑hammered cymbals of the Byzance series, Meinl entered a centuries‑old cymbal‑making tradition in the home of cymbal craftsmanshipTurkey. Since the rebuilding of the Turkish production site in Samsun in 2019, production has taken place in a state‑of‑the‑art manufactory. After manufacturing there, the cymbals are finished at the German factory and each one is strictly inspected for appearance and sound.

The cymbal range comprises seven main series, covering a particularly wide tonal spectrum based on six different alloys.

  • Byzance
  • Pure Alloy
  • Classics Custom
  • HCS
  • Symphonic / Marching
  • Generation X
  • Artist Concept Models

The range is rounded off by Drum Gear – drum accessories from drum rugs and practice pads to stick bags, cymbal cleaners and tuning keys. Meinl Cymbals' endorsers include some of the most successful and well‑known drummers of our time, among them: Benny Greb, Robert Sput Searight, Matt Garstka, Anika Nilles, Mike Johnston, Jost Nickel, Chris Coleman, Luke Holland, Brann Dailor and Wolfgang Haffner.

To experience our Meinl Cymbals range with all your senses, we highly recommend a visit to our Walldorf branch!
