Pros
Contemporary sounding. Superb shiny finish. Well-made cymbals.
Cons
Some minor complaints about the rides.
The bottom line
Meinl has clearly set out to create a set of contemporary sounding cymbals to sit happily within touching distance of its pro ranges. The high level of automation built into the manufacturing process should guarantee the sort of consistency that is normally difficult for cymbalmakers to attain. Of course, such consistency is only desirable if the sound and look of the cymbals is right in the first place and, our minor gripes about the rides aside, they are pretty much spot on.
