Meinl Cymbals 18-inch Classics Custom Dark China Cymbal


Sells separately for $199.99





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.
