Features

  • MADE IN GERMANY: Classics Custom Dark cymbals are made at the Meinl Cymbal factory in Gutenstetten, Germany; they're formed with high-tech German engineering for consistent dark tone, powerful feel, and durability across all models
  • WHY IT MATTERS: these cymbals will make your kit sound and look professional; plus, the big assortment makes it easy to find your voice whether it's just one piece or a matching complete set
  • WHAT'S IN THE BOX: one 18" china cymbal; the Classics Custom Dark china cuts through mixes easily then gets out of the way, so it doesn't overtake; the flanged edge gives you smooth stick feel when striking with the shoulder
  • DRIVING THE SOUND: made of durable B12 bronze alloy weighted and shaped for loud volume; extra hammering and additional lathing dial-in overtones to give the cymbals a dark, but crisp sound and controlled decay
  • THE UPSIDE FOR YOU: you'll be heard next to distortion charged guitar amps or in wide-open, large rooms without sounding crazy bright or ringy
  • ONE BIG THING: the great-looking dark finish is part of the cymbal making processnot just a coating that can wear offso it will last a lifetime; bands of extra lathing expose the natural bronze
  • BEST FOR: rock, metal, fusion, worship; ALSO GREAT FOR: high-energy pop, R&B, funk
  • THE TAKEAWAY: Classics Custom Dark is for you if you like powerful cymbals with darker undertones, crisp attack, and a quick decay; their expert German craftsmanship is built to last

Description

Classics custom cymbals from Meinl are designed to cut above the roar of guitars, doing most of the work for you so you don't have to play as hard to be heard. Classics Custom cymbals are made of B12 bronze alloy for a warmer fundamental tone that allows them to sit further down in the mix at softer dynamics and jump to life when energy lifts. Made in Germany from 100% renewable energy. A special finishing process leaves This crash with more complex, dark and warm overtones along with an immediate, punchy response. Not only does this model combine a bright attack with an earthy sustain, the finish adds rich texture and a stunning look. Classics custom cymbals are recommended for most styles of music, including metal, rock, pop, Fusion, and studio.

    • Powerful sound, arrived long before anticipated date
Style: Medium
This is my first China cymbal, and I'm amazed by both the aesthetic and the sound quality. A fine addition to my kit. Having shipped from Osaka, Japan--it arrived a week sooner before the expected arrival date. Would recommend!

    • Great sound
Style: Medium
I switched from Sabian to Soultone, and now Meinl. These Dark Classics are awesome. Perfect cut sound and ring. My band, Skyline Red, just finished recording 5 songs with these beautiful cymbals, which should launch by 2023 on all steaming platforms. Very happy with these cymbals.

    • Heavy and LOUD
Style: Heavy
I had a sabian XS20 before this that I really had to beat on to get it sounding right for breakdowns (definitely why it broke). This thing is so damn loud. It literally hurts. Gets everyone to shutup at practice. I love it 😀

I use this China on my road drum kit. Gets lots of abuse and sound good for the money.

    • Amazing china.
Style: Medium
It’s everything you’d want in a china cymbal. Trashy, sustain doesn’t last too long, meaning it cuts through the mix and gets out of the way quickly.
