Frequently Asked Questions

The Meinl has a slightly more focused, less complex tone than the Zildjian A Custom, which tends to have a wider, more shimmering wash.
While durable, the Brilliant finish is more susceptible to scratches than a more matte finish; careful handling and cleaning are recommended.
It’s best suited for quieter genres; the thin weight won’t cut through a loud rock mix effectively and could be damaged by aggressive playing.
