The Meinl Cymbal Bacon adds a sizzle sound to any ride, crash, or effect cymbal in your setup. From traditional and brilliant to raw hand hammered cymbals, the lightweight Meinl Cymbal Bacon adds an instant effect without harming cymbal surfaces or dampening cymbal sustain.
The MEINL Wood Shakers are made from three distinct wood species to offer a variety of sonic textures for your next performance or recording. Choose from Oak (loud), Beech (medium) or Lime (soft).
The caxixi comes from the rattle family and is traditionally played in Brazil. Nowadays the instrument is used as an effect in music. The caxixi is moved up and down while playing so that the contents hit either the bottom or the weave.
The MEINL Percussion Caxixis are woven by hand with a coconut bottom. Their sound is crystal clear, high-pitched with a great projection.
Together Calvin and Meinl have created a NEW signature drumstick that is not only great for maneuvering quickly around the kit, but also perfect for laying down deep and heavy grooves. Starting with a 5A diameter and US selected hickory, this unique stick features a total length of 16.5" and a long taper designed for both reach and rebound in a stick made to play fast.
