Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
For over thirty years, Meinl has established itself in modern percussion through demanding craftsmanship and constant innovation. In the "traditional" spirit, the Brilliant version stands out by a treatment aimed at softening certain harmonics, for a deeper and more controlled sound while retaining power.
Who This Cymbal Is For
This crash is aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers seeking an expressive and solid cymbal for band settings. It is particularly suitable for rock, metal, pop, and contemporary music whenever rich, wide, and well-projected accents are desired.
Features and Innovations
The combination of B20 and brilliant finish promotes a clear attack, a good volume reserve, and better clarity in the mix, with a less intrusive high end.
Sound
The B20 alloy provides a warm and complex sonic foundation with good playing sensitivity. The brilliant finish, here oriented towards a darker sound, helps to contain harmonics for a warm, rich, and powerful tone, accompanied by a long sustain.
