{"product_id":"meinl-splash-12-pure-alloy-custom-379126","title":"12\" PURE ALLOY CUSTOM SPLASH","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePure Alloy Custom\u003c\/strong\u003e series continues the legacy of the Pure Alloy cymbals, emphasizing a softer feel under the stick and musicality designed for modern setups. It stands out with a \"custom\" approach to the Pure Alloy character: a rounder sound, faster decay, and a balance that works well both in studio and live settings. Within the Meinl range, this family targets drummers seeking a versatile cymbal with a distinctive aesthetic and controlled sonic signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIntended Users\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMeinl Pure Alloy Custom 12-Inch Splash\u003c\/strong\u003e is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to professional drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want an expressive splash cymbal that is easy to place and refined enough for recording. Its sensitive response makes it very enjoyable for working on dynamics, quick accents, and punctuation between groove phrases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of styles, it excels in \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efusion\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eR\u0026B\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ereggae\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003estudio\u003c\/strong\u003e contexts where a clear but never aggressive accent is desired. It also integrates well into \"modern drummer\" setups with multiple effect cymbals and can complement more traditional configurations by adding a warmer, denser splash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the \u003cstrong\u003e12-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e size, this splash offers an excellent compromise between precision and presence: compact enough to speak quickly, yet wide enough to give body to the accent. Its design is based on \u003cstrong\u003ecomputerized hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensures great consistency from cymbal to cymbal, with a uniform feel under the stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pure Alloy Custom series is also instantly recognizable thanks to its dual aesthetic: \u003cstrong\u003eSmoked-Bronze top\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBrilliant bottom\u003c\/strong\u003e. This choice is not merely aesthetic; it supports a sonic philosophy focused on a clear attack, soft response, and musicality that remains clear in a busy mix without taking up too much space in the sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core of this cymbal is Meinl's \u003cstrong\u003ePure Alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e, a bronze designed to deliver a clear and projected sound while maintaining a warm foundation. On a splash, this translates to a \u003cstrong\u003ecrisp attack\u003c\/strong\u003e (very defined) with a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm undertone\u003c\/strong\u003e that avoids the overly metallic \"ping\" effect sometimes found on very bright models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003eMedium Thin\u003c\/strong\u003e weight, the Pure Alloy Custom 12-inch opens quickly, responds to light strokes, and maintains a pleasant \"elastic\" feel ideal for accent and rebound playing. The color remains fairly \u003cstrong\u003emid-dark\u003c\/strong\u003e : enough brightness to stand out, but with a rounder grain and complexity that make it easy to layer with a crash or hi-hat without hardening the upper spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn practice, its \u003cstrong\u003emedium to short decay\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it a great ally for modern arrangements: it punctuates, breathes quickly, and leaves space for other elements (vocals, guitars, keyboards). It also works very well in \u003cstrong\u003estacks\u003c\/strong\u003e with other effect cymbals if you are looking for a more percussive and controlled texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esplash cymbal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ePure Alloy Custom\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e1 cymbal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eGermany\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ePure Alloy (Meinl alloy)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eMedium Thin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecomputerized hammering\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTurning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ePinpoint\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSmoked-Bronze\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottom finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBrilliant\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttack\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecrisp, fast\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecomplex, full-bodied, musical, sensitive, smooth, warm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTimbre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emid-dark\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003elow-mid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emedium to low\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSustain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emedium to short\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ePAC12S\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357373518099,"sku":"379126","price":179.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/d47ceef8f569763b2fe596927267dd38f8e4a48d_PAC12S.jpg?v=1787319059","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-12-pure-alloy-custom-splash-379126","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
