Meinl Cymbals Bacon - Cymbal Sizzler, Chrome

As the name implies, Meinl Cymbal Bacon is a stainless steel 10.5" long beaded chain that makes your cymbals sizzle. We had the minimalist in mind when making Cymbal Bacon because less is EXPONENTIALLY more when it comes to cymbal alterations-an area where at-home fabrications usually fall flat. It wasn't enough to make a solution to get that sound you've been hunting for. Meinl Cymbal Bacon had to be so incredibly sleek and easy to use that its user experience ranks as important as the end sound result. Adding a sizzle effect doesn't get much easier than this.

Its sleek washer base is made to fit on any cymbal stand. Just place it over your cymbal and start playing. You can use Meinl Cymbal Bacon with or without cymbal felts and wing nuts. Try placing it on top of or underneath your felts to adjust the amount of sizzle. You can even place it on or remove during the middle of a song while playing if you just need it for one particular section. Meinl Cymbal Bacon is made for players who want a full sizzle sound but don't want to alter their cymbal by drilling for rivets. Its sound will have a big effect on your ride cymbal approach. Jazz drummers especially will find Cymbal Bacon to be a vital piece of gear.

The stainless steel beads respond effortlessly to your playing, from ultra-soft ballads to blazing fast and intense bebop. Of course, it works with any style of drummer who wants to add texture to their ride, no matter the genre. While most players grab Cymbal Bacon for their rides, it has equally as big of an effect on crash and effects cymbals. Adding Cymbal Bacon to these types of cymbals gives you a great sizzle sound that fits right in with your overall dynamics. You can also instantly change any crash into a smooth sounding jazz cymbal when playing in quieter settings.
