2017 Meinls include Pure Alloy range and cymbal tuners

Meinl’s Pure Alloy range is being billed as: ‘A timeless voice with an effortless touch and clean sound, allowing drummers to express themselves in virtually any style. They feature a velvety wash, combined with a full tonal spectrum, extending through all dynamic levels. The hihats cover all dynamics from a quick, responding staccato to slight sizzle, to a full bodied energy.

‘The crashes hit you with a bold punch, filled with highs, mids and lows, followed by a medium to long sustain. The rides push your sound with an upfront mix, cushioned by fundamental lows, along with a cutting bell.’

Finally, Meinl is launching magnetic Cymbal Tuners, offering drummers an easy way to tweak the sound of cymbals, simply by placing the magnets on the cymbal (mated up top and bottom). By positioning the Cymbal Tuners in different spots on the surface, players can control the sustain, dampen the tone, adjust the volume, and optimize the sound of a cymbal to just the way he or she likes it. The RRP is just £16.

All of the new Meinl range will be available from 1st March.
