I only have one meinl cymbal. It's a 10 inch byzance splash. I'm looking to eventually upgrade to all byzance except for the Ride cymbal. I want to try the Mb10 bell blast ride. I tried zildjians and sabians all the time but I never heard anything that sounded good to me. So I kinda have to buy meinl cymbals.

im thnkn bout the soundcaster custom crashes nd an 18" byzance crashes as part of an upgrade. the bell on my ride is fukin brutal 4 only bein in the classics range but im lookin at th mb20 24" chris adler sig. ride

I've been using Meinl for about 5 years now and have been lucky to get hooked up with them over here in Australia.. I love these cymbals.

14" custom cymbal shop hats
12" custom cymbal shop mini hats
17" Byzance Medium Thin crash
18" Byzance Medium Crash
14" Thomas Lang Filter china
18" Byzance Medium China
With rides i vary but mainly my 20" Custom Cymbal shop "one of a kind" also got a 21" Medium Classics which is cheap but great, or my 20" Heavy Byzance.
The filter china would have to be my favourite by far... so evil haha.

I swear by them, wont play anything else, ive played others Zildjian, Sabian but love my Meinls

i dont have any i want to get some any recommendations?

I've owned Amun crash and splash once. They have quite strong midrange, similar to Paiste 2002. Byzance hihats are worth to try.

mb20s are pretty nice sounding cymbals, mb10s are good too.

Meinl makes some nice cymbals, don't let me be the judge though, check out their cymbal site.

Hey guys

I have one question - Meinl is using 5 kinds of metal in their cymbals - B8, B10, B12, B20 and brass, am I right?

i own a 22" byzance heavy ride.

my decision whether or not to go with meinl will be heavily influence by the life of this cymbal.

Hi. Newby here.
I've been checking the Meinl site but can't find any sound files like they used to have a couple years ago. I find the site really hard to navigate. I don't know, maybe cuz I'm on a Mac?.....
Anyway, do you know how to access sound files at the site or am I looking for stuff that isn't there any more?
Thanks.

The website has been revamped for 2008 but they still DO have soundclips

All ya gotta do is select the cymbal you want and it has a button next to it which allows you to hear th clip

Cool. I found out what the problem was. I had to use Fire Fox browser, Safari wasn't getting it done.
Thanks again.
Cheers!

I use Meinl and Sabian, but I'd like to go with all Meinl, they have some really nice cymbals. I like the Soundcaster Customs, MB10's and MB20's the best. Byzance Brilliant and dark are great for effects too.

I have as follows

Meinl:
16" classics medium crash
16" Amun thin crash
18" classics thin crash
18 classics medium crash
8" classics china splash

I switched 9 months ago from my a customs and my sabians and love these cymbals. I get compliments from people and other drummers at gigs about how good my cymbals sound and look from the front of the stage. Isn't that the bottom line? Sound and looks.

i had a 24" Byzance traditional medium ride.. cracked it in one practice though. Getting a new one, and hopefully will last longer. I loved it though. Pretty soon I'm going to get some 14" Byzance heavy hi hats, and some larger byzance crashes.

Its good to see more Meinl users on DML!!

great cymbals. I absolutely LOVE the crashes that I played. not sure if I'd say the "best", but I wouldn't say that about any one cymbal company.

brand loyalty is nothing more than a marketing tool reinforced by famous players' endorsements . don't drink the koolaid! you will miss out on all sorts of awesome sounds that way.

I love Byzances.

Here's my setup:
20" Byzance traditional Heavy Ride
20" Byzance Jazz Thin Sweet Ride
18" Byzance Traditional Medium Ride
14" Byzance Traditional heavy Hi Hats.

The only thing that sound better to me are some of the Zildjian K Customs, but for the price, Meinl's are amazing.
