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. MEINL utilizes a B10 bronze alloy to make these cymbals pack a loud and bright punch with rich musical tones. The Classics Custom 14-inch dark hi-hat features a unique twist on the traditional design of these cymbals. A special finishing process leaves these hi-hats with more complex, dark and warm overtones along with the classic cutting "chick" sound. Not only does this model combine a bright attack with a smooth, earthy "slosh" when played open , 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.
