Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
These magnets belong to the family of modern damping solutions, designed to quickly adapt a cymbal to the demands of stage, studio, or rehearsal. They offer a practical alternative to gels and adhesives, with repositionable adjustment at will.
Who This Drum/Accessory Is For
Ideal for drummers from beginners to advanced who want to tame an overpowering cymbal, balance a kit live, or achieve a cleaner take in recording. Suitable for many styles, from rock to funk, including pop, metal, and amplified jazz.
Features and Innovations
Place the magnets on the cymbal, top and bottom. By moving them toward the bell, the edge, or between the two, you modulate the response: sustain reduction, harmonic control, and perceived volume adjustment, all while maintaining a natural feel.
Sound
The action of the magnets directly influences the bronze vibration: the more they are positioned to dampen the most mobile area, the sharper the attack and the shorter the sustain. You get a more focused sound, better-controlled projection, and a cymbal that is easier to place in the mix.

Questions frequently asked
How to place the Meinl Cymbal Tuners on a cymbal?
The magnets are placed on either side of the cymbal, with one element on top and one underneath. This arrangement allows repositioning according to the desired level of damping.
Do the magnets reduce the sustain of a cymbal?
The placement of the magnets slows down the bronze vibration and shortens the sustain. Positioning on a more mobile area produces a cleaner attack and limits the overtones.
Can the overtones be adjusted by moving the magnets?
Moving the magnets towards the bell, the edge, or an intermediate area changes the cymbal's response. It is thus possible to adjust overtone control and perceived volume. The natural feel is preserved.
Are these Cymbal Tuners suitable for both studio and stage?
These magnets are designed to quickly adapt a cymbal on stage, in the studio, or during rehearsal. They allow for better controlled projection and make the cymbal easier to place in the mix.
What is the color of the Meinl Cymbal Tuners?
The stated finish is black.
