MAKES YOUR CYMBAL SIZZLE: Meinl Cymbal Bacon produces old school sizzle sounds on your ride, crash, or effects cymbal with no effort; it instantly changes your cymbal feel, live or in the studio
WHY IT MATTERS: the alternative to getting a sizzle effect is drilling holes in your cymbal to add metal rivets, a dramatic procedure that permanently alters your cymbal; now you can get that sound in seconds and remove it just as fast
HOW IT WORKS: the light stainless steel beaded chain reacts by bouncing on your cymbal while you play; this gives you a sizzling sustain with every note whether you play with sticks or brushes
DRIVING ITS POPULARITY: it's the most easy-to-use cymbal sizzler; the minimalist washer design is all you need to secure it (no bulky plastic collars here), plus, you can use your original cymbal felts with it
OF NOTE: there are two versions of Meinl Cymbal Bacon, Standard and Heavy; this is the Heavy model that has slightly larger beads and a heavier weight for more volume and longer sizzle sustain
SAFE FOR ANY FINISH: your homemade sizzler isn't guaranteed to not damage or mark up your favorite ride cymbal; Meinl Cymbal Bacon is safe on all cymbal finishes and alloys
BY THE NUMBERS: the chain measures 10 1/2" long to reach right to the edge of a 22" cymbal (but it works the same on smaller or larger cymbals too); the universal washer opening is 1/2" wide to fit all cymbal stands
THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality

Product Description

As the name implies, Meinl Cymbal Bacon makes your cymbal sizzle. Heavy Cymbal Bacon is made with the exact same specs as our Standard Cymbal Bacon but with larger diameter steel beads and added weight for enhanced sizzle that has a longer sustain and more volume. Throw it on any ride, crash, or effect cymbal in your setup. From traditional and brilliant to raw hand hammered cymbals, the Heavy Cymbal Bacon works with any sound and does not scratch or harm cymbal finishes. The thin washer is made to fit on any cymbal stand and may be placed underneath or on top of your cymbal felts (or use without felts). Instead of drilling your cymbals to add rivets, the 10.5” stainless steel beaded chain will bounce on top of your cymbal to deliver a sizzle effect that can be used in any setting.
