> > > New rides from Meinl Cymbals

Meinl Cymbals are famous for constantly expanding their product portfolio. As the new year approaches, they are bound to yet again offer us something new. Before that happens, let us recap what has happened this year. We have already summed up the holey crashes released in 2021 (see HERE). Now let’s take a closer look at the rides as the company have enriched their product range with six new models of that type since January.

In case you have missed their premieres, we are more than happy to remind you what they are…
