{"product_id":"meinl-crash-ride-pure-alloy-22-extra-hammered-388384","title":"Crash Ride Pure Alloy 22\" Extra Hammered","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor over thirty years, Meinl has established itself as a key reference in modern percussion by focusing on a blend of \u003cstrong\u003equality\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003econsistency\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003einnovation\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003ePure Alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e series follows this philosophy: offering cymbals with immediate playability and controlled sound, capable of meeting the demands of today's drummers whether on stage, in the studio, or during rehearsals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the Meinl lineup, the \u003cstrong\u003ePure Alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e family is designed for \u003cstrong\u003eversatility\u003c\/strong\u003e and clarity, with a timeless sonic aesthetic: modern enough to cut through dense mixes while maintaining musicality and balance that remain natural in more organic contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 22-inch Crash Ride cymbal is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a \"two-in-one\" cymbal capable of serving as a main ride while delivering true wide and enveloping crashes. The large diameter provides presence and a broad playing feel, particularly enjoyable when depth is desired without sacrificing definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding styles, its \"for all styles\" positioning is fully justified: it suits \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e grooves (for clarity and response), as well as \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emodern metal\u003c\/strong\u003e, and more \u003cstrong\u003ealternative\u003c\/strong\u003e music where a cymbal that can open widely without becoming overwhelming is expected. In subtler contexts (indie, ambient, fusion), its expressive character allows easy nuance at both low and high intensities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe concept behind this Pure Alloy is effortless playability and a \"clean\" sound, with a highly usable voice in many contexts. The \u003cstrong\u003eextra pronounced hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e (\"Extra Hammered\") plays a central role: it enriches the texture, multiplies micro-variations in timbre, and promotes a more organic response, helping the cymbal remain musical even when intensity increases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother highlighted feature: the series offers \u003cstrong\u003etwo distinct sides\u003c\/strong\u003e. On one side, a more \u003cstrong\u003epolished\u003c\/strong\u003e surface that opens up a wider tonal spectrum; on the other, a side with a more \u003cstrong\u003edynamic\u003c\/strong\u003e character, designed to vary colors depending on attack, striking zone, and stick type. Practically, this encourages a more \"orchestrated\" playing style: bell, shoulder, and edge become true reference points for switching from precise ride to wide crash without changing cymbals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to the \u003cstrong\u003ePure Alloy Bronze\u003c\/strong\u003e, this cymbal aims for a balance between \u003cstrong\u003edefinition\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eprojection\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled harmonics\u003c\/strong\u003e. You get a clear stick articulation in ride playing while maintaining generous openness when striking the edge. The 22-inch diameter naturally adds more breadth and depth, enhancing the \"carpet\" sensation during crashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"Extra Hammered\" hammering and traditional finish contribute to a more complex response: the attack can remain crisp, but the cymbal develops an \u003cstrong\u003eexpressive texture\u003c\/strong\u003e and nuances that evolve with dynamics. The result: a crash ride that is \u003cstrong\u003epresent\u003c\/strong\u003e without being aggressive, with a sound that integrates easily into the mix and real versatility to move from tight grooves to wide, singing accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e22 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003etraditional\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eMeinl Pure Alloy\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHammering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eExtra Hammered\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePure Alloy Bronze\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360933531923,"sku":"388384","price":449.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/07a2d5a290e13fa2e97ecb98821138bcc9c1c981_PA22EHCR.jpg?v=1789403859","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-crash-ride-pure-alloy-22-extra-hammered-388384","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
