Meinl Pure Alloy Custom 22" Medium Thin Ride
Meinl Pure Alloy Custom 22" Medium Thin Ride
Some cymbals keep time. Some cymbals tell stories.
The Meinl Pure Alloy Custom 22" Medium Thin Ride does both — and it does it with the kind of authority that makes drummers grin the moment the stick touches bronze.
This ride is part of Meinl’s Pure Alloy Custom series, where classic alloy meets modern craftsmanship. Made from fully lathed pure alloy bronze, it delivers a sound that’s rich, musical and incredibly alive under the stick. The moment you lay into it, the cymbal responds with a warm, glassy wash that spreads out like ripples across water — smooth, controlled and endlessly satisfying.
At 22 inches, there’s plenty of surface area for the sound to breathe. The medium-thin weight means this ride sits beautifully in that sweet spot between stick definition and musical wash. You get a clear, articulate ping for groove work, but underneath there’s a lush bed of tone that swells and shimmers without ever getting out of control.
The stick response is buttery and expressive. Whether you’re playing jazz phrasing, driving rock grooves, funk patterns or expansive fusion textures, the cymbal speaks with clarity and personality. And when you lean into the edge? It opens up into a smooth, crashable roar that feels powerful without being harsh.
Visually, the Pure Alloy Custom line has a striking look — a dark, smoky finish paired with a brilliant lathed surface that catches the light beautifully. It’s the kind of cymbal that looks as impressive as it sounds sitting above your kit.
This is a ride cymbal built for musical drummers — players who want their cymbals to breathe, respond and evolve with every stroke.
At Musicmaker, the Pure Alloy series has become a favourite among drummers across Ireland who want professional-level cymbal tone with modern consistency and projection.
If you’re searching for a 22" ride cymbal in Ireland that blends shimmering wash, articulate stick definition and stunning aesthetics, the Meinl Pure Alloy Custom Medium Thin Ride is a seriously inspiring piece of bronze.
