Meinl 22" Anika Nilles Lunar Ride — Artist Design Cymbal (AD3)
The Meinl 22" Anika Nilles Lunar Ride (AD3) is an extra heavy Artist Design ride cymbal crafted from hand-hammered B20 bronze. Featuring original custom engraving artwork designed by Anika Nilles, this ride is engineered to produce a cutting yet warm sound that speaks with clarity and luminescence across high-volume playing scenarios.
Built with a large-sized bell for dominant, penetrating bell strikes, the AD3 offers clear stick definition, mid-bright timbre, and a long sustain. Its narrow blade lathing and traditional finish make it a powerful choice for progressive drumming, fusion, rock, metal, and studio applications.
