Every cymbal has a natural sustain that works beautifully in some contexts and becomes problematic in others. In a live room with natural reverb, a long-sustaining ride can wash out and lose definition. In a recording session, unwanted overtones can clash with other instruments in the mix. The Meinl MCT Cymbal Tuners address this by applying controlled dampening to the cymbal surface, shortening the sustain and focusing the tone without killing the cymbal's natural character entirely. The result is a more controlled, musical sound that sits better in the context you're playing in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Benny Greb\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenny Greb is one of the most influential drummers of his generation - a Meinl artist, educator, and innovator whose approach to sound, groove, and musicality has shaped how drummers think about their instrument. The MCT Cymbal Tuners were developed in direct collaboration with Benny, drawing on his deep understanding of cymbal sound and how it interacts with different musical environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStudio and recording drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e - control cymbal sustain and overtones for a cleaner, more focused recorded sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLive drummers in reverberant rooms\u003c\/strong\u003e - reduce cymbal wash and improve definition in challenging acoustic environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrummers who want more tonal control\u003c\/strong\u003e - adjust how your cymbals sound without buying new ones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBenny Greb fans\u003c\/strong\u003e - a piece of gear developed directly with one of drumming's most respected voices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable at Into Music Store with UK next day delivery available.
