Meinl Cymbals 18-inch Classics Custom Dark China Cymbal (2-pack) Bundle
18" Medium-weight China Cymbal with Dark/Natural Striped Finish
Accent Cymbal with Bright Bite and Dark Tone
Meinl's 18-inch Classics Custom Dark China cymbal combines the rich and lush body of a classic China crash with the light and dark balance of the Classics Custom series. When you strike the 18-inch Classics Custom Dark China, the initial attack is bright and clear, the way you expect B12 bronze to sound, and if you wail on the oversized lip, you'll be rewarded with delightfully trashy tone. What Sweetwater drummers particularly like about this China is the contrast of a dark timbre with the brightness of the attack. This allows you to accent notes with the attack and let the short sustain fade quickly into the mix — a real treat for aggressive musical styles.
Classics Custom series delivers bright and loud sound
Meinl's Classics Custom cymbals combine B12 bronze with innovative designs to deliver bright and powerful sound that cuts through the mix without forcing you to play as hard as you can. With its higher copper to tin ratio, B12 bronze rings clearly and brightly, filling the air with complex upper harmonics that provide a cutting attack and a shimmering decay. Many of the drummers here at Sweetwater swear by cymbals like Meinl's Classic Custom line when they need to punch through loud guitar amplifier stacks and serious stage volume. That makes these cymbals a perfect choice for pop, rock, metal, and other contemporary styles.
