What happens when B12 bronze alloy meets up with a brilliant, high polish finish? You get a modern and versatile cymbal that can stand up to the slow and steady stick work of light rock, country and pop as well as the furious fusillades that go with metal and punk.

The Soundcaster Custom Series is the result of extensive research and development efforts by Meinl to find new and exciting sounds that appeal to wide cross section of drummers. The 20” Medium Ride in particular, is a favorite of drummers such as Brad Sesar who plays with Brad Paisley and Sweden’s Frederik Andersson of Amon Amarth and This Ending. They like its defined, clear ping, terrific stick definition and light wash along with its warm, brilliant response and medium sustain that lingers just long enough to enhance the effect. The ride is crowned with a balanced and musical bell that’s true to form.

All Meinl Soundcaster Custom cymbals are made in Germany from B12 bronze alloy with an ultra shiny finish that provides a smooth, rich sound with great dynamics and expression. The uniform hammering patterns and lathing band are computer controlled for precision and consistency.

In the drummer’s world, it’s all about the sound and the look. The Soundcaster Custom 20” Medium Ride delivers on both counts to give you the performance you want whether practicing, recording or playing a live gig.
