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 20-inch dark ride features a unique twist on the traditional design of these cymbals. A special finishing process leaves this ride with more complex, dark and warm overtones along with the classic cutting ping. 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.
With a medium weight, raw lathing, and a dark unfinished bell that's immensely present in any setting, the Meinl 20" Classics Custom Dark Ride captures the brightness inherent in the series with a dark twist. Built on a foundation of bronze-rich B10 alloy which amplifies the trebled portion of the frequency spectrum, the dark lathing on this model provides the warmth and additional overtones typically absent from brighter cymbals. As visually striking as it is sonically, this balanced tone makes the cymbal an excellent candidate in any genre where a defined articulation is desired.
