Frequently Asked Questions
The Meinls offer a slightly darker, more complex tone than the Avedis, while retaining a similar vintage aesthetic. The Meinls generally have a bit more projection too.
They’re fantastic for recording! The darker tone cuts well in a mix and provides a great foundation for a vintage or mellow sound. You'll get a really warm, intimate feel.
A dedicated hi-hat bag with ample padding is essential. Avoid stacking them with heavier cymbals to prevent damage from pressure.
