The Classics Custom series is intended for use in high-decibel genres due to the cymbals' bright and piercing profile. This louder profile is attained through Meinl's brilliant polish finish and use of B10 alloy with a higher percentage of tin.

The Powerful Crash is the heaviest line in the Classics Custom series and features a clear projection and pronounced sustain.
