MADE IN GERMANY: Classics Custom Dark cymbals are made at the Meinl Cymbal factory in Gutenstetten, Germany; they're formed with high-tech German engineering for consistent dark tone, powerful feel, and durability across all models
WHY IT MATTERS: these cymbals will make your kit sound and look professional; plus, the big assortment makes it easy to find your voice whether it's just one piece or a matching complete set
WHAT'S IN THE BOX: one 12" trash stack (top and bottom cymbals); this stack is packed with bold, trashy, dry tone to color your grooves and fills; tighten their tension for a quick, biting sound or loosen for a sloshy response (stand not included)
DRIVING THE SOUND: made of durable B12 bronze alloy weighted and shaped for loud volume; extra hammering and additional lathing dial-in overtones to give the cymbals a dark, but crisp sound and controlled decay
THE UPSIDE FOR YOU: you'll be heard next to distortion charged guitar amps or in wide-open, large rooms without sounding crazy bright or ringy
ONE BIG THING: the great-looking dark finish is part of the cymbal making process—not just a coating that can wear off—so it will last a lifetime; bands of extra lathing expose the natural bronze
BEST FOR: rock, metal, fusion, worship; ALSO GREAT FOR: high-energy pop, R&B, funk
THE TAKEAWAY: Classics Custom Dark is for you if you like powerful cymbals with darker undertones, crisp attack, and a quick decay; their expert German craftsmanship is built to last
