Meinl Drums & Percussion news

Meinl has also introduced a new series called Classics Custom.

The Meinl FX Pedal features 10 sounds in an oak and steel foot-controlled box.

Invented by Meinl Percussion's Bill Saragosa, the company introduces its new Clamshell Spark Shakers.

The new Super-Dry Studio Tambourines feature hand-hammered brass jingles for an "extra dry and trashy sound," according to Meinl.

If a 22" ride doesn't deliver that little extra that a drummer is looking for, and the sound of a 24" ride is too dominant, then the all new 23" Byzance medium and heavy rides are the way to go.

The new Meinl drum rug in zebra finish has its entire bottom side overed with rubber to avoid sliding and it comes with a bag for transportation.

Meinl presented its new Marathon Designer Series Congas.

Meinl has introduced two new pre-packaged cymbal sets.

These new Kalimbas are compact melodic instruments designed to be an addition to a percussion kit. The keys are made of plated steel.

The new line of Soundcaster Fusion cymbals is made from B12 bronze alloy, produced in Meinl's German factory using computerized hammering methods.

Meinl percussion introduces the Foot Cabasa, which allows the percussionist to play and maintain a cabasa rhythm by foot while the hands play the congas or other drums.
