Description

The Meinl Pure Alloy 10" Splash is a dynamic addition to any drummer's arsenal, offering a versatile sonic palette that caters to a wide range of musical styles, from jazz to rock. Crafted from B12 "Pure Alloy" bronze, this splash cymbal is a response to drummers' desires for a thinner, more responsive cymbal. The result is a medium-thin splash with a crisp attack and warm undertone, creating a smooth, resonant sound that blends effortlessly in any setting.

The Pure Alloy Custom series is designed to offer a bright, shimmering tone with a touch of darkness, thanks to its lighter weight and specially formulated alloy. The cymbal's surface features a fully lathed and machine-hammered finish, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and tonal quality. With its "smoked bronze" top finish and a brilliant bottom finish, this cymbal not only sounds incredible but looks striking on any drum kit. Experience a softer attack with faster decay, making it perfect for quick, articulate accents that don't linger excessively.
