About Meinl Classics Custom Dark

An embodiment of sonic excellence, the 17" Classics Custom Dark Crash Cymbal, Medium, is a testament to Meinl's commitment to crafting high-quality percussion instruments. This cymbal boasts a full frequency range, delivering a wide and full spread that complements any musical genre. Its explosive attack and strong projection are balanced with a touch of warmth, a result of the meticulous additional hammering that enhances its tonal complexity.

Crafted for the discerning musician, the Classics Custom Dark Crash is not your ordinary power cymbal. It is designed to resonate with an epic character that you can define in the heat of performance. Whether you're synergizing with a band or reaching the zenith of your solo practice, this cymbal allows you to unleash your full potential without sacrificing the subtleties of your sound. It ensures that you remain comfortably atop the mix, delivering a serious punch without an overpowering glassy ring.

The cymbal's unique aesthetic, a blend of black and gold, is as stylish as it is professional, appealing to drummers who value visual flair as much as acoustic integrity. The dark finish is not just for show; it's an integral part of the cymbal's sound profile. The Classics Custom Dark Cymbals are engineered to cut through the densest mixes with agility, providing the snap needed to be heard alongside electric guitars while echoing the darker timbre characteristic of deeply hammered cymbals.

The cymbal's exceptional sound is attributed to several key features:
- Extra deep hammering, which darkens and dries the sound, adding layers of tonal complexity.
- Additional lathing, revealing bands of brightly colored bronze that fine-tune the overtones.
- The use of B12 bronze alloy, consisting of 88% copper and 12% tin, known for its solid, reliable, and loud characteristics that remain open and expressive under heavy playing.

Designed and manufactured in Germany, this cymbal is a versatile choice for power or fusion players. It is part of a large selection of standard and effects cymbals that Meinl offers, each with the promise of durability and high-quality performance. The 17" Classics Custom Dark Crash Cymbal, Medium, is a professional-grade instrument that will elevate your drumming experience with its aggressive yet dark and warm sound.
