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 Ride cymbal combines limited-edition artistry with powerful ride cymbal performance. Crafted from B20 bronze with an extra-heavy weight profile, this 22" ride delivers the projection and stick definition needed to cut through dense mixes while maintaining a warm, deeply musical character. A massive bell adds authoritative attack and clarity for accents, while the cymbal's rich wash provides balance and complexity for a wide range of musical settings. Limited and serialized, each cymbal features original engraved artwork created by Anika herself, transforming the surface into a visual canvas that reflects the luminous sound and inspiration behind the MEINL Lunar Ride.
