Extensive research and development efforts by Meinl led to the creation of the popular Soundcaster Custom Series. These powerful cymbals, with their bright sound and warm, glassy tone, are designed to offer drummers new and exciting sounds so they can maximize their individual creativity and musical expression.
The Powerful Hihat is very energetic and powerful with a high-pitched open hihat sound and lots of cut to stand out even in louder volume situations. The heavier weight creates a strong, aggressive chick and great stick response.
The B12 bronze alloy offers up a smooth, rich sound with the great sound dynamics that deliver a steady, rhythmic pulse to metal, rock, alternative, country and pop music. The super shiny finish results in a polished, mirrorlike surface to deliver brighter, richer, and more brilliant sound while still offering a controlled amount of high frequencies. The scalloped edge design on the bottom cymbal prevents trapped air to produce a sharper and more cutting chick.
The high-tech computerized hammering and manufacturing process used to create Soundcaster Custom hihats ensures consistent sound characteristics and reliable performance whenever you play.
International drumming stars like France’s Franky Costanza, Norway’s Uli Kusch and Belgium’s Dirk Verbeuren claim the Soundcaster Custom Powerful Hihats as one of the many frequently played Meinl cymbals they go to in their kit.
