I need to get one badly. I tried one at the store. It would go perfectly with my ride bell.

The Meinl bells look comparable to the Zil Bells, but I haven't heard one. I'm a Saluda guy strictly now, and I plan on one of their Expressions Bells soon. However, I know a good cymbal when I hear it.

Just got a Zil-Bel today. Have not heard the Meinl bells. I know that Zil has a sustain that will kill. Peace!

I have one, an 8" Classics Powerfull Bell, it's a little more earthy and overtone-ish compared to a Zil Bell, which are clean as a whistle.

Hey Duba, are they as cutting as the zils? I got a stagg ice bell the other day from a local drum shop for like $40 and it's really nice and musical, just not cutting.
