Meinl 18" Classics Custom Dark Crash Cymbal

This Meinl Classics Custom Dark 18" Crash Cymbal delivers a full frequency range with a wide, full tonal spread, making it a perfect accent for rock, metal, and pop drumming. You get a cymbal crafted in Germany from durable B12 bronze alloy, which holds up to the force of your sticks while maintaining excellent musical expression. The cymbal has a medium weight, a dark finish, and is shaped using Meinl's Pressure Point Technology and computerized hammering for focused, dynamic tonal qualities.

Strike this cymbal and you will hear an explosive attack with strong projection, rounded out by a touch of warmth from the deep hand hammering. The 18-inch size produces a high-mid pitch with a dark timbre, a medium to long sustain, and a medium to high volume that cuts through the mix without being overpowering. The wide blade lathe contributes to the unique dark appearance and smooth, warm overtones. This versatile crash is suitable for metal, rock, pop, fusion, and studio applications.
