What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Traditional, fully lathed surface





Fully lathed surfaces are a big departure from the raw, earthy cymbals Meinl is best known for today. This process gives all Meinl Pure Alloy rides a higher wash-to-stick ratio ? more like traditional cymbals ? for a sweet, lingering sustain.





Crafted by drummers for drummers





Meinl's cymbal innovation stems from both a deep love for the craft and a desire to provide drummers with the sounds they're buzzing about. Whether you're into the traditional Pure Alloy series or the modern-dry Byzance line, Sweetwater is confident that Meinl Cymbals has the sound you're after.
