Description
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. Included in the Classics Custom Dark pack are a 14" dark hi hat pair, a 16" dark crash, and a 20" dark ride. Classics Custom Dark cymbals undergo a special finishing process that leaves the cymbals with dark, complex, and warm tones along with the clarity and cut that Classics Custom is known to deliver. This same unique twist on the traditional design gives the cymbals a rich, dark appearance. The hi hats have a bright attack with a smooth, earthy "slosh" and crisp "chick". The 16" crash has an immediate punch response with a complex sustain. The ride provides the classic cutting ping with warm overtones and a musical bell that cuts with clarity. Outfit your kit with the rich texture of Classics Custom Dark cymbals. Classics Custom cymbals are recommended for most styles of music, including Metal, Rock, Pop, Fusion, and Studio.
