We a 22" Mega Bell Ride like the Soundcaster Custom Mega bell but in the Byzance or Pure Alloy serie.

[janocronismo]

For a cheap cymbal, the HCS isn’t bad at all. Nice video.

[DeathswingKettlebell]

Man. This... This is how you advertise and film your product comparisons. Way to go Meinl. This is so sick

[WildySouza]

The most metal cymbal presentation ever.

18" BLAST BEATS:
0:13 HEAVY DARK
0:49 EXTREME METAL
1:07 HCS

I got the serpent’s ride when it came out and used it for years as a crash ride. It has the perfect “big crash” sound!

[ZMRSKK]

I love how creative you make all your cymbals presentations!)

[MannyMo_]

Meinl, please make a 20” Dark China🙏🏻

[marco_prolo]

Great demo! I tested the 18" dark and the 22" HH (best of this bunch IMO) myself and I ended up with the 21" Ghost Ride, because I wanted a ride with a cutting bell that also has good crash capabilities. 🤘🏼

[christraven]

I was *not* expecting that shimmery sound from the Serpent's Ride. I'd have to say my other fave was the 20" Custom Classic Dark.

[OPPN]

ive got the 20 inch heavy dark it sounds so good im not even upset i didnt have this comparison video when looking for a new ride

[str]

Superb video, love these comparison + the playing and the mix are incredible

[JanPatrickLucas]

One of the attributes of the Serpents ride is it's ability to also open up, offering more versatility. This was a "brilliant" comparison, and yet that was not demonstrated here.

[BlazonStone]

What about the bigger size rides WITH the enormous bell of the 18 inches?
Wouldnt that be the best of both worlds? :)

[Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Ayyyye, the perfect drummer to demo the bells 💪🏽🔥

[fivestars]

0:18 Derek Roddy
0:35 Chris Adler
Amazing Legend RockNRoll Drummers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎

[perpetualgrimace]

I was not expecting to like the heavy hammered ride so much!

[drummerdan]

The 18" classic custom brilliant 🤤

[asuraw]

I love MEINL, but I just wish there was more of a belly ride like Zildjian's A custom mega, or Paiste's Rude Eclipse mega ride. Don't get me wrong, the selection MEINL have is nice, it'll cut through, it just doesn't have that emphhh imo. I'll have a full set of MEINL cymbals except for the ride lol

[RyoCanCan]

Sandblasted classics customs would be so nice. Classics custom dry!

[EdenPorterMusic]

What sticks was he using? 2Bs, thinner, thicker?
