Meinl Classics Custom Dark 20" Crash Cymbal

The attack of the Meinl Classics Custom Dark 20” Crash Cymbal is a real pleasure to behold. This gorgeous cymbal features a deep, widely-spaced hammering pattern that imbues the bronze alloy with dark, sumptuous tones. The Dark range is also subject to additional lathing passes that refine their complex tone, adding warmth and extra cut to their attack. 

The Classics Custom Dark Crash explodes with an energetic burst followed by a cutting swathe of sweet, dark wash. Its mature, refined sound is easily applied to any musical style; while its aggressive attack and loud volume make it ideal for heavier genres, its tonal complexities breathe musicality into lighter stickwork. 

This cymbal’s unique look is a bi-product of its manufacturing process. First, the cymbal is shaped using pressure-point tech, then precision-hammered with pinpoint accuracy before receiving additional lathing.
