Impressive in look and sound character, the 20” Soundcaster Fusion Medium Ride is appealing to a great many players across all different types of musical forms, but especially to rockers who like to play it loud and proud. Russia’s own self-described drum philosopher Pavel Lokhnin from X-Rated is one of the many fans of this Meinl cymbal.

The expressive 20” medium ride is versatile enough to work as a crash/ride and is defined by its solid stick attack and strong center bell that’s unhammered and unlathed for greater clarity and projection. The cymbal’s mixed finish is actually a combination of lathed and unlathed playing surfaces. The center area is unlathed with a glassy finish, while the outer band is thinner and scored with lathed detail to provide increased spread with a medium sustain.

The different thicknesses in the design create a warm and shimmering sound with an enhanced wash. The outstanding finish and laser­ engraved logos result in a stunning and distinctive appearance that’s quickly gaining more mainstream acceptance.

Soundcaster Fusion cymbals have the same exceptional sound characteristics and quality design Meinl cymbals are famous for. The ride is crafted in Germany from B12 bronze alloy in a computer controlled environment that ensures adherence to Meinl’s high standards of precision craftsmanship and exacting detail.
