The Pure Alloy


The turned-down bottom in Brilliant finish produces shimmering sound that blends seamlessly into the mix. Furthermore, the top of the Meinl Pure Alloy Custom series features larger hammer blows, which shorten the decay and provide soft, controlled definition with a pleasant feel.
The Smoked Bronze Finish ensures a perfectly balanced cymbal sound with a strong proportion of harmonics. In addition to the noble visual appearance, a modern sound scheme is created because all Pure Alloy Custom cymbals are tonally perfectly matched to one another.

The HiHats cover the full dynamic range, from clear staccato to light sizzle. Closed tight, the Pure Alloy Custom hi-hat sounds divorced, clear, and precise; slightly open, the bronze sound swells evenly and has a trashy character.
The Pure Alloy Custom Ride combines power and balanced sustain with a clear bell. The warm decay is clear and energetic, and the feel is extremely direct across all dynamic levels.
The Pure Alloy Custom series' medium thin crashes produce an optimal frequency mix, followed by warm and short decay. The Trash Crashes are dominated by an explosive swell with a washed-out basic sound; they are also ideal for cymbal stacking.
