Meinl CRING Ching Ring

Really flexible tool for the drumset. Meinl could be triple the price and it would be worth it.

It brings a unique sound to any part of the kit: Snare, Hi Hat, floor tom, ride. Very distinct yet modern sound. On the ride it gives it a really aggressive sizzle.

I love this thing.

Good quality ching ring... adds little bit more character to your hihat cymbals especially if you use dark cymbals! cheap, well built, easy to use and remove! 5 stars...

If you want a bit of variety and/or jingle feel to your cymbals or drums then this is great.

I love how you can use it to dampen cymbals, lengthen the sustain and spread of cymbals or even to enhance your snares spread further.

This gives your hi hats that extra “Chunk” and it’s VERY LOUD!

It will give your recordings a special twist, but your neighbours won't like it.

As a drummer you can use these in prettifying much any was. In the hi-hat to get some tambourine effect or in the snare drum for a tambourine backbeat to say a couple.
It is nicely build so it won't damage your cymbals if you place it in the top.
I wouldn't recommend it as a hand tambourine thought.

Never leaves my hi hat.

I've had the ching ring for two days now and have basically tried it on every drum surface I have - it works equally good on top of a hi-hat, ride, crash, toms and snare.
It's distinctive enough to cut through the mix and give you that little bit of extra shine even in loud metal setting and is not overpowering when played softly.

At this price point I fail to see any cons. Should have ordered more than one.

I love how something so simple can add so much more color to your cymbal sound.

very good for the price . good quality . good sound
