The superb sound of Meinl's Classics Custom Dual Crash is attributed to a perfect combination of the warm nature of B12 bronze and the company's meticulous step-lathe formation process and deep over-hammering technique. This combination develops a darker, and punchier sound with a distinct fundamental character. The Classics Custom Dual looks stunning as well, with fully lathed and buffed edges complementing a dark center that's not only easy on the eyes, but aids in creating this crash's quick, explosive attack and short sustain. The complexity and warmth of Meinl's B12 bronze and striking surface treatment provide a smooth feel that complements the lower and higher ends of your mix.
