Description

Designed in collaboration with acclaimed drummer Anika Nilles, known to many as the touring drummer for Rush's Fifty Something tour, the MEINL Artist Design Anika Nilles Lunar hi-hats combine limited-edition artistry with powerful hi-hat performance. Crafted from B20 bronze with a heavyweight profile, these 14" hi-hats deliver the projection, articulation and energy needed for demanding musical settings.
