Meinl Cymbals is introducing the 22″ Lunar Ride and 14″ Lunar Hats – the newest Artist Design Cymbal models, custom-designed for Anika Nilles as she hits the road for Rush‘s highly anticipated Fifty Something world tour.
According to the manufacturer, ‘These aren’t just new cymbals; they are a sonically crucial part of Anika’s setup, debuting live on stage […] at Rush’s tour opener in Los Angeles. For months, Anika and the Meinl R&D team worked closely together to craft something truly special. Both models feature Anika’s original artwork beautifully engraved on the bronze surface, but the real magic is the sound. They were engineered to meet the exact sonic demands of both Anika and Rush, ensuring an effortless integration into the mix on stage.‘
- 22″ Meinl Lunar Ride – Extra heavy weight with a massive, heavy bell designed to cut through any arena mix while maintaining a warm, deeply musical tone
- 14″ Meinl Lunar Hats – Heavyweight powerhouse hats delivering a crisp, energetic chick sound and maximum projection.
Rush‘s world tour kicked off last night, and these cymbals are going to be a part of Anika’s cymbal setup at every show.
Available in music stores worldwide September 2026.
