In 1974 Meinl was the first cymbal company to offer pre-pack cymbal sets. [2] Meinl's initial cymbal production focused on low-budget cymbals, and it wasn't until 1984 with the "Profile Series" that Meinl started to really focus on professional-level cymbals. [3] The first Meinl pro series was the "King-Beat Series", introduced in 1976. [2]
