The MEINL Pure Alloy extra-hammered crash cymbal brings articulate brightness and rich complexity to your drum kit.

Combining cutting brilliance with a balanced, lingering sustain, the Pure Alloy crash allows you to accent your grooves with clarity and nuance.

Play Expressively With a Responsive, Articulate Surface

The Pure Alloy's hand-hammered bronze surface gives you a lively, reactive playing experience. Extensively hammered and fully lathed by MEINL master craftsmen in Germany, the cymbal's texture is optimized for articulation and responsiveness from edge to bell. You'll find it easy to control, allowing for articulate accents and cuts, while still retaining enough body for crashes to bloom and breathe.

Cut Through the Mix With Crisp, Focused Tone

With its brilliant, focused crash tone, the Pure Alloy delivers cutting accents that pierce through dense mixes. The hammering technique imparts a clean, precise voice with pronounced mid and high overtones. Striking the bow produces a sharp, penetrating crash, while the bell delivers a clear, sustained ping. From jazz to rock, the Pure Alloy provides the crisp, articulate voice needed to stand out.
