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.

Hi hats are sic. The china is sic. Love the stacks. To me they sound like a hand clap. Great for grooving. I have to get use to the 20” crash. The thrash cars complements the china. 17” and splash sound great. Definitely worth the purchase. Looking into getting the whole Dark Custom cymbal family.

    • Phenomenal quality!
Style: Complete Set Color: Dark
I am absolutely impressed by the quality and tone of these cymbals! It makes my kit look and sound professional. I was initially a bit concerned as to whether it would sound like "trash can lids" as several comments have noted--however, upon trying it for myself, I can confirm that the sound is very dynamic and powerful, and sounds/feels absolutely nothing as those critical comments described. I cannot stress how happy I am with my purchase and would strongly recommend these cymbals to others. They look gorgeous--even better in person--and sound even better. ... show more

    • Great sound, great look, great buy!

Review Image by William C Roberson William C Roberson
Love this cymbal pack. Hats sound great, I keep my hats close so I get a nice sizzle when they’re open, and these sound nice and crisp. The ride has a real dark almost eerie ping, and the bell is clear and distinct. The 16” Crash is my main crash, loud but not too washy and has a shorter sustain, and the 18” is just a monster crash, great for those really driving parts of a song, comparing pretty closely with the sound of a china. Overall they look and sound pretty awesome. ... show more

    • Great set
Style: Expanded Set Color: Dark
Great set of cymbals. They have a nice sound for rock and a heavy feel. The hi hats are very responsive. The crash cymbals have a nice sustain and the trash cymbals are a nice blend of sounds between a china cymbal and a regular crash. The splash cymbal has a nice cutting sound thats quick and decays quick. All in all a great over all set. I added an additional 18” cymbal to round out the set. ... show more

Absolutely blown away by these cymbals! I have played many different cymbals over the years and after buying my new kit and being strapped for cash I decided to go with these instead of forking over another $1000+ for new cymbals. These things are LOUD. I mean they will cut through in any venue or on any track. The hats are super crisp and feel great, and the ride has a nice feel to it too. If you are transitioning from entry level playing to intermediate, these are a great jump up from B8's or something similar. I don't think I will ever go back to any other brand of cymbals again. These feel like professional cymbals that normal folk can afford. ... show more

    • Great mid tier set
Style: Complete Set Color: Dark
These sound great for the money, and they look awesome. If you want an upgrade from the lower tier cymbals B8s or HCS sets, but aren't ready to drop a grand on a Byzance or K Customs set these are a great option. They are all real crisp and glassy sounding and the hi-hats especially are great, I put a ching ring on mine and it gets rid of all unwanted ring and gives a good effect. If you want some great mid tier cymbals these are a good option I have had them for a few months and am happy with the purchase. ... show more

    • Don't belive what you see in videos
Style: Complete Set Color: Dark
Video reviews you see for these have all been mixed. These cymbals sound friggin awesome when you watch reviews on them. When I got mine home, they sounded like crap. The hi hat was passable. The rest of the cymbals sounded like garbage. Roll of the dice when you buy cymbal packs. Maybe some people get a set that not only sounds good individually, but the cymbals also sound good together. Possibly I got a crap set, but they sounded so bad, I had to return them. They do look pretty cool though. If you buy these, make sure you buy from someone who lets you return them without a restock fee or shipping cost. Give them a try. You may get lucky and get a set that you are happy with. The set I got was barely worth the hassle of setting them up and returning them. But that is the price you pay to get the sound you want. Good luck! ... show more
