The Meinl Cymbal Bacon adds a sizzle sound to any ride, crash, or effect cymbal in your setup. From traditional and brilliant to raw hand hammered cymbals, the lightweight Meinl Cymbal Bacon adds an instant effect without harming cymbal surfaces or dampening cymbal sustain. The thin washer is made to fit on any cymbal stand and may be placed underneath or on top your cymbals felts (or use without felts). This simple design allows you to grab the Cymbal Bacon and place on any cymbal throughout your performance with no hassle. Instead of drilling your cymbals to add metal rivets, the 10 ½” stainless steel beaded chain will bounce on the top of your cymbal, providing a sizzle sound that can be used in any setting from jazz and funk to fusion and pop.
