Meinl BACON Cymbal Bacon 10.5" Stainless Steel Beaded Chain Cymbal Sizzler

Instant Cymbal Sizzle Without Drilling or Dampening Sustain

The Meinl BACON Cymbal Bacon is a stainless steel beaded-chain cymbal sizzler designed to add a classic sizzle effect to ride, crash and effects cymbals. It provides an easy way to introduce extra texture without drilling holes for rivets or permanently modifying the cymbal.

The lightweight 266.7mm (10.5") chain rests on the cymbal surface and bounces as the cymbal vibrates, producing a sustained metallic shimmer. Its simple washer-style mount fits standard cymbal stands and can be placed above or below the felts, or used without felts depending on the setup.

Because it can be moved quickly between cymbals, the Cymbal Bacon is useful for players who want to change textures during a performance or experiment with different sounds across their kit. It adds colour without noticeably dampening cymbal sustain or damaging the playing surface.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Meinl Cymbal Bacon is a practical choice for drummers who want an easy, reversible way to add sizzle texture to existing cymbals.
