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.

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'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?

Soundcaster Customs - B12
Byzance i Mb20 - B20

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.
