Meinl Classics Splashes speak clearly and get nice praise for producing big sound from small, compact sizes. All three cymbal sizes have a bright sound and very fast attack with a sharp, penetrating cut that isn’t easily subdued or overwhelmed by the resonance and projection of other instruments and vocals surrounding you.
The Meinl Classic Series combine excellent craftsmanship with outstanding sound quality to create some of the most affordable and best-sounding cymbals you can find. The extensive selection of different models and sizes makes them unparalleled in the cymbal category for semi-professionals.
Classics Splash cymbals are crafted in Meinl’s state of the art German facility from a premium B8 bronze alloy. The high-tech computerized process gives Meinl craftsmen the ability to exactly manage the amazing sound quality and beautiful finish of each cymbal. Even the hammering and lathing are controlled to ensure the sound personality and polished look remain consistent from one cymbal model to the next.
It’s this unwavering attention to detail and dedication to quality that makes Meinl cymbals one of the most trusted names in the world of drumming. Chris Adler, Derek Roddy, Tommy Clufetos and Jeff Gilbert are just a few of the celebrated drummers who proudly proclaim Meinl as their cymbal of choice.
