Meinl 22 inch ride cymbal with dark and bright balance
The Meinl Classics Custom Dual Ride is a 22 inch ride cymbal that delivers a striking mix of dark and crispy, with a warm character that still cuts loudly through the mix. You get a dry stick attack, a clear bell and controlled undertones, so this cymbal carries musically without becoming unruly.
What makes this Meinl ride especially versatile is that it also works well as a crash. That makes it a strong choice for drummers who want one ride cymbal with both clear stick definition and an explosive response.
B12 alloy and Dual finish
Meinl uses a B12 alloy of 88% copper and 12% tin for the tonal foundation. The inside has a dark finish, while the outside is highly polished. This gives the Classics Custom Dual Ride its recognizable look and a flexible playing feel with its own distinct sound.
Extra hammering adds a darker, more complex tone. The medium weight keeps the attack balanced, giving you control in ride patterns while still offering enough response when you want the cymbal to open up.
Suitable for stage and studio
This 22 inch Meinl ride cymbal fits well with metal, rock, pop, fusion, studio work and R&B. In styles where you want a ride to stay present without losing warmth, the character of the Classics Custom Dual series stands out clearly.
The high-tech computer-controlled production process and manufacturing in Germany support a consistent finish. If you want advice on the right cymbal setup or how this Meinl ride combines with other models, Magna Music can also help you with personal advice from musicians in the shop.
