Frequently Asked Questions
The Meinl has a more defined stick sound and slightly drier overall character than the Zildjian A Custom, which is known for its washier, more shimmering tone.
Not necessarily; it means a more focused and clear sound with less overtone complexity, which is great for cutting through a band but might not be ideal for very subtle, atmospheric playing.
You'll get a crisp, clear stick response with good articulation – it’s not a super-splashy ride, but the stick sound is very present and defined.
