The Meinl Mb10 Hi-Hat Cymbals have a cutting, high-pitched sound with quick attack. A waved bottom eliminates air lock for maximum clarity. Meinl set out to get a totally clean modern sound with no annoying overtones. They started out with a B10 bronze alloy that no one else uses, and shaped it meticulously with overlapped hammering and ultra-fine lathing. A two-step high-polish process is the finishing touch in creating the warm crisp sound of Mb10. The finished products are beautiful, with a mirror-like finish. The Mb10s are good for metal, punk, alternative, country, rock and pop.
