The Pure Alloy series closes the gap in the Meinl Cymbals range between the darker Byzance line and the brighter-sounding Classics Custom.
The Pure Alloy cymbals are made of bronze with a Traditional finish and offer a soft, shimmering sound with pronounced tonality and medium sustain, making them excellent all-rounders at all dynamic levels.
The Pure Alloy Custom cymbals go even further in this direction, with an even softer attack and a warmer fundamental character with quicker decay. While the underside has a brilliant finish, the top impresses with a unique look derived from the Custom Smoked-Bronze finish.
For 2024 Meinl Cymbals expands the Pure Alloy range with the addition Extra Hammered. The new series in medium-thin weight features a machined-hammered surface that immediately catches the eye. But of course its primarily about the sound. The cymbals of the Pure Alloy Extra Hammered series open up easily and produce a sound that is both powerful and warm. The series is suitable for all styles.
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.
