About the Meinl cymbals blog

By: norbert saemann

hello and welcome to the first meinl cymbals blog entry. i am proud to be the one to kick it off. at the same time i am excited and a little bit nervous, because this is all new to us. we don't have any experience yet as far as blogging. we are curious how this will develop.

the goal of our blog is to give you a survey of all the things which actually happen at and around meinl. we'll guide you through some of our product developments and marketing ideas. we'll talk about music and a lot about drums and cymbals in general. since we are travelling quite a bit to lots of drum events, concerts and other music conventions, we'll share our first-hand experiences and discoveries with you. after all, for us it's about drums and drumming. from drummers, for drummers.

we encourge you to come back often and actively take part in the meinl blog. comment and share your ideas with us.

all of our blogs are uncensored and non filtered the records are not prepared by any marketing experts or agencies. we want you to get a closer insight on what is really going on at meinl. stay tuned and have fun with it.

hello everyone - thanks a lot for your positive feedback.

@ vitaly
at the moment there are no plans for an official meinl day in moscow. i dont know where you have heard that rumour, but it is not true. you never know though, it might happen at some point in the future. i will keep you posted either way.

ok, its late and i am kind of tired. just completed a 600km drive coming back from eindhoven/holland where i met with the guys from "drumstation". great store and good people.

stay tuned.......

Hi,

sorry, das ist vielleicht nicht der richtige Kanal, aber ich hab keinen anderen gefunden: Ich bin SUPER-interessiert in das neue Generation X China Crash und würde es mir gerne mal anhören. Geht aber auf der Seite noch nicht. Ich stehe kurz vorm kauf eines Konkurrenz-Produktes, das ich faiererweise hier nicht nennen möche, darum ...

Stellt mal ein Soundfile auf die Seite!

Danke und beste Grüße
Peter

hallo peter,

du hast recht, die soundfiles sind noch nicht online. speziell bei diesen files muss ich uns gnadenlos an die eigene nase fassen: das haben wir etwas verschlafen. das tut mir leid und ich bedauere, dass dadurch deine kaufentscheidung leiden muss und evtl. zu unseren ungunsten ausfallen könnte.

ich möchte auch keinen zeitpunkt nennen bis zu welchem sie online sind könnten, denn evtl. müsste ich den wieder korrigieren.

zwei sachen jedoch kann ich dir versichern:

1. wir werden die soundfiles sobald als möglich online stellen.

2. die china-crashes klingen richtig gut :-)

in diesem sinne, nochmal sorry !

Hi I have an MCS setup and Classics Powerful Ride. I just want to know how to register as member in meinlcymbals.com. I am not able to find any link for that
mike rodriguez posted on Tuesday, 04-05-10 01:06

i just recently bought the sand ride and it came in kinda deformed (lopsided i guess you can say) my question is it suppose to look that way.
mike rodriguez posted on Tuesday, 04-05-10 01:08

is it suppose to look that way i meant to say

@mike

Hey, I just bought my first Meinl cymbal. I purchased a Byzance 21" crash; awesome. All my cymbals are A Custom until now. A friend uses Meinl, and I really liked the tone, so I went for it. Since I bought it from an eBay dealer, I'm wondering if Meinl will still warranty it (it is new)? Thanks, Jim
