Every drummer and percussionist wants and needs a top quality, well-rounded effects cymbal to play around with during practice sessions. Meinl Classics Bells Effect Cymbals are available in three different pitches - low, medium and high, all with a very long sustain and a dry, pingy, brilliant stick response.

If you’re wondering how to use them, don’t. These bells give you plenty of play options. Besides using them for a normal bell sound, professional drummers such as Austria’s Thomas Lang and Germany’s Benny Greb use the Meinl 8” Classics Bell as the bottom cymbal for their famous right foot hi-hat (along with a regular 8” splash as the top).

The Meinl Classic Series beautifully combines uncompromising craftsmanship and outstanding quality into dynamic cymbals that appeal to beginners, intermediates and more experienced drummers alike. The Classics Series really is one of the most affordable and best-sounding cymbal collections you can find, and all are very easy to incorporate into your kit.

Bells Effect Cymbals are made in Germany from premium B8 bronze alloy by Meinl craftsmen who are committed to giving drummers of all skill levels the best possible sounds at the best price. The high-tech computerized crafting process capitalizes on the alloy’s outstanding visual and sonic strengths to produce warm and lively effects.
