About Meinl Classics Custom Dark

Why settle for the ordinary when you can experience the extraordinary with the 18" Classics Custom Dark China Cymbal, Medium This premium cymbal, crafted by the renowned Meinl brand, offers a unique blend of dark sound qualities and a large lip design, producing a trashy yet refined sound that's perfect for any musical setting.

Designed with the professional musician in mind, this cymbal delivers short sustain for cutting and quick accents, allowing you to define your sound in an instant. Whether you're performing with a band or in the midst of an intense practice session, this cymbal ensures you stay on top of the mix without overpowering it.

The Classics Custom Dark China Cymbal is more than just a cymbal; it's a testament to the power of nuanced and complex sound. Its shadowy mosaic of tones is a result of extra deep hammering, which darkens and dries the sound while adding tonal complexity. The additional lathing, with bands of exposed brightly colored bronze, accentuates the dark finish and helps dial-in overtones, creating a sound that's as stylish and elegant as it is powerful.

Constructed from B12 bronze alloy, a blend of 88% copper and 12% tin, this cymbal is not only solid and reliable but also produces a loud sound that doesn't choke when you lay into it. Its aggressive yet dark and warm sound makes it an ideal choice for power or fusion players.

The 18" Classics Custom Dark China Cymbal, Medium, is part of a large selection of standard and effects cymbals, all made in Germany, ensuring you receive a product of the highest quality. Experience the sleek, glossy elegance of this cymbal and let its shiny allure enhance your musical journey.
