The Meinl Cymbals Classics Custom series stands for bright, assertive cymbals and offers everything a drummer's heart desires, from 8 inch splash to 22 inch ride and everything in between. All cymbals are made in Germany from B12 bronze.
The Classics Custom Brilliant have a brilliant finish and deliver a particularly clear and shimmering sound that stands out in every style of music.
The Classics Custom Dark series cymbals have a more intense hammering and a dark finish. In addition to the interesting optics, this results in a slightly darker, washed out but also warmer sound.
The Classics Custom Dual cymbals combine the sound characteristics of the two previous models. The inner part is taken from the Classics Custom Dark, the outside of the cymbals are brilliant. This creates a warm basic tone with a fast and explosive attack.
The Classics Custom Extreme Metal already have their main area of application in their name. These cymbals are slightly louder, thicker and more resistant and particularly assertive against the walls of distorted guitars.
The company Meinl was founded in 1951 by Roland Meinl as a one-man operation producing cymbals in a cellar workshop. Now in its third generation and family-run, Roland Meinl Musikinstrumente has become one of the biggest names in the production of cymbals, percussion instruments and sound therapy instruments, with locations in Gutenstetten and Nashville, TN.
Meinl Cymbals are manufactured at two locations. One production site is at the company headquarters in Gutenstetten in Franconia. This site has been specialised in high-precision automated production and hammering and has been continuously modernised since the new build in 2003. 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 of the traditionally hand-hammered cymbals of the Byzance Series in 2000, Meinl entered a centuries-old tradition of cymbal manufacturing in the home of cymbal craftsmanship – Turkey. Since the construction of the Turkish production facility in Samsun in 2019, production has taken place in a highly modern manufactory. After manufacture there, the cymbals are finished in the German factory and each one is strictly inspected for look and sound.
The cymbal range comprises seven main series that, based on six different alloys, cover a particularly broad sonic spectrum. These include: Byzance, Pure Alloy, Classic Custom, HCS, Symphonic/Marching, Generarion X and Artist Concept Models.
The range is complemented by Drum Gear – accessories for the drum kit – from drum rugs through practice pads and stick bags to cymbal cleaners and drum 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 the complete Meinl Cymbals range with all your senses, we warmly recommend a visit to our Walldorf branch. On site we host the first Meinl Flagship Store in Europe, where you'll find the entire Meinl Cymbals portfolio and even some special models that you can of course play and try out.
