Meinl Pure Alloy Cymbals UK — Into Music Store

The Meinl Pure Alloy Cymbals are one of the most musically versatile cymbal ranges in the Meinl lineup. Made in Germany from Pure Alloy bronze with pinpoint lathing on the traditional models, they deliver a shimmering, smooth tone that sits perfectly between the darker complexity of the Byzance and the brighter character of the Classics Custom range. With medium sustain and a full range of tonality, the Pure Alloy works equally well at low and high dynamic levels — making it a reliable choice for drummers across rock, pop, funk, jazz, and studio contexts.

The standard range covers splashes in 8", 10", and 12", hi-hats in 14" and 15" Medium alongside Soundwave variants in both sizes, crashes from 16" to 20" in Medium and Thin weights, and rides from 20" to 24" in Medium and Thin. The Extra Hammered sub-series adds a drier, more complex character across splashes, hi-hats, crashes, rides, crash/rides, and chinas — giving drummers a significantly different tonal option within the same range. Standout models include the 21" Super Bell Ride and the Extra Hammered Crash/Rides in 20" and 22". Two set options are available: the Standard Box Set (14"/16"/20") and the Extra Hammered Complete Box Set.
