How to choose
Meinl covers cymbals and percussion. Decide whether you are adding to a drum kit or building a hand percussion setup.
Beginner
If you are a beginner drummer, a Meinl HCS cymbal set gives you matched hi-hats and crash at an affordable price. For hand percussion, a Meinl cajon is a versatile first instrument, and a djembe suits group playing. Add standard 5A sticks to start.
Intermediate
If you are progressing, try different Meinl sticks to change your sound, such as Stick and Brush hybrid sticks for quiet acoustic gigs. Add a Meinl shaker or tambourine to your setup. When you upgrade cymbals, a Byzance crash is a big step up in tone and complexity from entry cymbals.
Expert
At a professional level, choose Byzance cymbals by ear to build a set with a consistent character. Traditional Extra Thin Hammered crashes are dark and responsive, while Vintage Trash crashes add a raw, aggressive edge. Percussionists can build a setup with congas, a Pedal Mount for foot-played percussion and cymbal attachments. Care for cymbals with Meinl polish and proper holders.

About Meinl
Meinl is a German company that covers both drum kit and hand percussion. On the cymbal side, the range goes from affordable HCS cymbals for beginners to hand-hammered Byzance cymbals, which are made from B20 bronze and have a dark, complex sound.
Meinl is equally strong in percussion. Cajons, djembes, congas and shakers suit acoustic sets, worship bands and drum circles, and the Stick and Brush range adds different sounds from the same kit.
