Frequently Asked Questions

It creates multiple, layered tones that evolve over time, adding complexity and depth beyond a single, sustained sound.
While all cymbals are susceptible to cracking, Meinl’s quality control and the B20 bronze alloy make these quite durable if played with reasonable force and proper care.
