Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
For over thirty years, Meinl has established itself as a reference in modern percussion by combining innovation and manufacturing excellence. The Pure Alloy series embodies this philosophy with a clear and timeless sonic identity, designed to offer a reliable, expressive, and immediately accessible cymbal. The Extra Hammered version emphasizes hammering to enrich the ride's personality while maintaining the cleanliness and balance characteristic of the range.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This 22-inch Meinl ride cymbal suits both intermediate drummers seeking a premium ride that is easy to control and professionals who want a cymbal capable of transitioning seamlessly from studio to stage. Its versatile signature makes it comfortable in pop, rock, funk, gospel, fusion, modern jazz, and more broadly in any style where a ride that is defined, musical, and rich in harmonics is desired.
Features and Innovations
The strong concept behind this Pure Alloy Extra Hammered Ride is based on two elements: a generous hammering that brings complexity and a livelier feel under the sticks, and a construction with two distinct sides to broaden the sonic palette. Depending on the attack and striking area, you get a precise ping to hold a pattern, a more open wash to fill the space, or a more dynamic response for marked accents. This approach favors an "all-terrain" cymbal that adapts to the playing style rather than the other way around.
Sound
Made from Pure Alloy Bronze, this ride aims for a clean and clear sound, with definition that remains present even at higher volumes. The extra pronounced hammering enriches the harmonic spectrum and adds pleasant complexity without excessive instability: the result is an expressive cymbal that maintains good mix control.
The presence of two sides allows you to refine your tone: the polished side highlights a broader spectrum and controlled brightness, while the other, more dynamic side encourages edgier textures and a livelier response. In practice, it is a 22-inch ride capable of supporting a groove with a defined ping while offering a musical wash for builds and choruses.
