Congratulations on the purchase Kelly - MEINL certainly came with some VERY innovative ideas in the last couple of years, regarding both cymbals and percussion...

Dam near plays itself.
First ride in forever that the ride and the bell I'm completely happy with. Always find a bell I like or ride but never both in one.
The matching hats will be next.

Working on putting up sound. Please stand by...for God knows how long.


PS. I don't "crash" rides but this one I could see trying it. Crashes nice too.

Sounds great, Kelly! I can no longer imagine a ride in my setup that will not crash; all those little pushes - as well as the larger swelling washes - that can be generated without changing the character of the cymbal sound, and with only the slight adjustment of stick attack angle.

Yup. That's what this one does.
I have been purposely just playing with hats and a ride on the kit, concentrating on solid grooves and clean fills. Makes you dig where you haven't dug before.
Discovered this ride will crash, with the right angle and strike, it could pass as a smooth buttery crash.
