China & Effects Cymbals

By using a B10 bronze alloy that has a higher content of tin than the standard Classics Series cymbals, high-tech computerized manufacturing, and a brilliant finish the new MEINL Classics Custom cymbals deliver outstanding sound qualities with a stunning, modern look. They deliver rich, musical sounds for ambitious rock and heavy drummers.

Hand-hammered and completely unlathed, Byzance Dark cymbals immediately hit the sweet spot with crashes that open up just enough, then get out of the way. The hihats and rides provide clarity, cut and volume, along with a prominent dark tone brought out by their unique surfaces. Made in Turkey from B20 bronze and hand-hammered into shape. The surfaces here are left unlathed creating the dark finish except for the Spectrum Hihats and Ride which are partially lathed in a spiral pattern.

The different sizes and shapes of the cut-outs gives the cymbal a unique look and a wide spread and a trashy, noisy sound. Recommended for quick accents and punctuations.

TAMA CYMBAL STACKER

The CSA15 is a straight-forward cymbal stacker useful for adding small cymbals to your setup using the M8 threaded cymbal rod.

QUICK-SET TILTER (US. PAT.NO.7385127)
TAMA's patented toothless Quick-Set Tilter marks another TAMA advancement in hardware. Relying on basic principles of physics, the Quick-Set Tilter holds its position using the friction of six smooth metal disc plates instead of traditional toothed gears, so you can adjust it to any desired angle. This mechanism also has a more durable structure than a conventional gear tilter.

QUICK-SET CYMBAL MATE (US. PAT.No.7629526)
By simply gripping and pressing the two buttons on the both sides, users can attach and remove the Cymbal Mate with just one touch, making cymbals setup/breakdown a snap. Like our standard Cymbal Mate: fine adjustments to the cymbal's swinging motion can be made by rotating the unit.

The Byzance Foundry China Ride delivers an articulate knock that china rides are known for; however, this china can also be delicate and sensitive when needed due to the thin weight. Don’t be fooled by the weight though as it easily opens to a roar, that you not only hear but feel, due to the large size and complex hand-hammering. The four rivets add just enough sizzle to carry this cymbal along when riding and will be perfect for a long-decay crash accent. Play this cymbal with a mallet, and you will add a whole new dimension of sound to your arsenal.

The Bosphorus Bell Cymbal or Bell Cup Cymbal is a small, very thick cymbal with little if any taper, used as an effects cymbal on a drum kit.

Effortless touch and clean sound. 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. 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 sustain that plays out with just the right amount of strength and balanced wash.

The Pure Alloy Trash China features holes that have been added throughout for a faster attack and quick decay. Additionally, this china has a different tonal response with more highs in the wash meaning this china will cut when needed. Finally, the holes will prevent airlock when used to stack with other cymbals.
