The cymbals which Ralf Gustke uses in this video are: MCS 14" Medium Hihat, MCS 18" Medium Crash-ride, MCS 20" Medium Ride and MCS 16" Medium Crash
Versatile. Powerful. Penetrating. Projecting. These are just a few of the adjectives that describe the overall sound and performance of the Meinl MCS Crash Ride. The ride is a balanced, multi-purpose cymbal with a clear ping and medium sustain that hangs on just long enough to heighten the effect. It can also be played as a crash for dynamic accents and a wealth of sound possibilities.
The standard for today’s more studious and ambitious drummer, the MCS Crash Ride Cymbal is harmonically matched and provides great sound at a great price. And because so many drummers play in more than one band, the MCS Crash Ride is able to adapt and adjust to whatever style of music you happen to play.
If you’re into classic rock or metal, the cymbal is up for a beating. If it’s softer pop, jazz or blues you’re grooving to, the cymbal also welcomes kinder, gentler strikes. It arrives ready to play, so just add it to your kit and you’re good to go.
MCS Series cymbals are made from a firm, durable B8 bronze alloy in Meinl’s state of the art facility in Germany. This particular alloy is known for being bright and powerful with plenty of attack. The precision hammering and lathing are computer-controlled so each cymbal has a uniform look and balanced sound.
