Because your performance demands both visual flair and sonic excellence, the 16" Classics Custom Dark Trash Crash Cymbal from Meinl delivers on all fronts. This thin cymbal, crafted with the utmost precision, is a testament to Meinl's reputation for creating high-quality, durable percussion instruments that resonate with professional musicians.
The cymbal's unique design features a dark finish punctuated by black and gold accents, making it a stylish addition to any drum kit. Its aesthetic is matched by its sonic capabilities; the cymbal produces a full attack with a quick decay, resulting in a trashy roar that stands out in a mix. This makes it an ideal choice for drummers seeking a versatile cymbal that can deliver a layered crash sound when combined with regular dark crashes.
The distinctive sound of the Classics Custom Dark Trash Crash is achieved through a meticulous manufacturing process. The cymbal is made from B12 bronze alloy, known for its solid, reliable, and loud characteristics, which ensures that the cymbal doesn't sound choked, even under intense play. The extra deep hammering and additional lathing create a complex tonal landscape, darkening and drying the sound while adding a shadowy mosaic of overtones.
The strategic placement of holes in the cymbal is not just for visual effect; it serves a functional purpose. By removing material, sound waves are allowed to travel quickly and escape, contributing to the fast decay that these cymbals are celebrated for. The size, shape, and placement of the holes also influence the cymbal's final sound, ensuring that it delivers a trashy yet sophisticated auditory experience.
Designed for power and fusion players, the 16" Classics Custom Dark Trash Crash Cymbal is a testament to Meinl's commitment to quality. It offers drummers the ability to sit comfortably on top of the mix with a serious punch, without overpowering with a glassy ring. The result is a cymbal that allows you to maintain nuance and complexity throughout your performance, leaving you energized and ready for more.
Crafted in Germany, this cymbal is part of a large selection of standard and effects cymbals from Meinl's Classics Custom Dark series. It's a choice that speaks to drummers who demand the best in both appearance and sound, ensuring that every strike is a statement of professionalism and passion.
