The Pure Alloy series closes the gap in the Meinl Cymbals range between the darker Byzance and the brighter-sounding Classics Custom.
Crafted from bronze with a traditional finish , the Pure Alloy cymbals offer a smooth, 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 warmer basic character with a faster decay. While the underside has a brilliant finish , the top has a unique optics that comes from the custom smoked bronze finish .
For 2024, Meinl Cymbals is expanding the Pure Alloy series to include the name Extra Hammered. The new medium-thin weight series is characterized by its machine-hammered finish , which immediately catches the eye. But of course it's primarily about the sound. The cymbals of the Pure Alloy Extra Hammered series open easily and produce a sound that is as powerful as it is warm. The series is suitable for all styles.
The Meinl company was founded in 1951 by Roland Meinl as a one-man company for cymbals in a basement workshop. Now family-run in its third generation, Roland Meinl Musikinstrumente has become one of the biggest names in the manufacture of cymbals, percussion instruments and sound therapy instruments with locations in Gutenstetten and Nashville, TN.
Meinl Cymbals are manufactured at two locations . Production is located at the company headquarters in Gutenstetten , Franconia. This was specialized in high-precision automated production and hammering and has been constantly modernized since the new building in 2003. The series, manufactured exclusively in Germany, include 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 into a centuries-old tradition of cymbal production in the homeland of cymbal forging - Turkey . Since the new Turkish production facility was built in Samsun in 2019, production has taken place in a state-of-the-art factory. After production there, the cymbals are refined in the German factory and each one is strictly tested for optics and sound .
The cymbals range includes seven higher-level series, which cover a particularly wide range of sounds based on six different alloys. These include: Byzance, Pure Alloy, Classic Custom, HCS, Symphonic/Marching, Generation X and Artist Concept Models.
The range is complemented by drum gear - accessories for drums - from drum carpets to practice pads and embroidery bags to cymbal cleaners and tuning keys. Meinl Cymbals ' endorsees include some of the most successful and well-known drummers of this time, including: Benny Greb, Robert Sput Searight, Matt Garstka, Anika Nilles, Mike Johnston, Jost Nickel, Chris Coleman, Luke Holland, Brann Dailor and Wolfgang Haffner.
