Frequently Asked Questions
The Meinl is darker and more complex, lacking the Zildjian’s brighter, more shimmering quality. It’s a matter of personal preference regarding tonal color.
The explosive attack refers to a quick initial impact, not a loud, piercing sound; the 'dark' describes the overall tonal character and sustain.
Like all bronze cymbals, it's susceptible to cracking with mishandling, but the B12 alloy and Meinl’s construction offer good durability with proper care.
