Meinl Soundcaster Custom 22" Mega Bell Ride Cymbal 57977

[mrboverbro]

this any good for crashing?

[joshuachan56]

OMG the bell is SO LOUD that the crash was completely muted at 0:14! I don't really like this cymbal though. Bell is too loud and the bow is too washy for my taste.

[Tylerthemetalking]

I still think sabian's hh,aax and aa power bell rides sound the best out of all the big bell rides.

[funnv]

Haha, one of Meinl's biggest beast rides together with byzance jazz crash. :D

[BileZombieMaggot]

Is this Like The Zildjian Mega Bell Ride? Cuz I'm Switching From Zildjian to Meinl and i was seeing if this is like the same thing.

[stvexplos]

I just bought this cymbal, and I have to say I was actually very disappointed with it. It has a metallic, robotic sound and a washy buildup that over powers the ride after just a few strikes. Also, the bell is just too damn loud. I play extremely loud metal music, and it's about ten times louder than any of my cymbals before or after, so it stands out too much. Also, whenever I use it my band mates all look at me like "what the hell was that?"

[mdgab321]

@stvexplos But mate, all these these you said are quite obvious on this video. The metallic sound, loud as hell bell etc.. Nothing to surprise to

[GTAtomten]

@miholiptis Yup, The Chris adler signature ride is awesome. but like you said, it's way too expensive. This cymbal is alot cheaper and still is great for metal.

[GTAtomten]

I was looking for cymbals today, and suddenly i saw a light.... the first thought i had when i saw this cymbal was "NEED!"

I just fell in love with the sound of this cymbal and im definately gonna try to get it. You should have played some metal on it instead, thats what this ride works best for.

[miholiptis]

i think this is the john boecklin signature or something (the drummer from devildriver) so its dor metal! REAL METAL!

[GTAtomten]

@miholiptis I did'nt know it was a signature... i thought there only signature cymbal was The mb20 24" Pure Metal Ride.

[danieljordison0793]

i cant decide between this or the MB20 heavy bell ride its drving me crazy!! its meinl fault for making those awesome cymbals !

[rslstft]

ive had both. the mb20 is going to have darker tones. i higher pitched but not necessarily louder bell and more wash. the soundcaster has better ping and is brighter with a deeper bell.

[helenaki8]

this is wild ride!

looks like ufo! ha ha

[eternalthrasher]

i think the same... I'm trying find a 22'' ride with a really good bell, glassy, ping, hightone and penetrating and also it should be brilliant ride.. trouble for finding that kind of thing.. it can be from any producer. the only rule is that it fits for me.

[DWdrummer57]

imagine if you sawed that down to just the bell. think of how amazing it would sound like better then the ziljian zil bell or alu bell by sabian

[Meinldrummer94]

I like that ride =)

[xXKRoweXx]

i like the bow alot

[devildriver676]

finally ordered this monster

the way that it sounds in this video doesn't even compare to the way it sounds when you play it

the ring from the bell is tremendous

[vinsanimo]

is the bell bigger than the pasite rude 24" mega bell ride?

[memphisdrumshop]

I believe that Paiste Eclipse ride has the largest bell.

[TunaOfTheLand]

I think it looks bigger cuz this cymbals a 22"

[deathdrummer196]

no...I have one...and is awesome...much better than any other big bell rides from other brands...is the only big bell ride that is 24 really great

[cooldude3]

i own that cymbal, put a moon gel on it, its perfect for metal and even jazzy stuff, great stuff!!

[sugarsticksmack]

THAT is what i am talking about! MORE POWER!
