About this item

  • 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 18" heavy big bell ride; this ride has an oversized bell that delivers loud, deep, in-your-face sounds for rock and metal; it's made for heavy hitters and playing blast beats
  • 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: metal, blast beats, rock; Classics Custom Heavy Dark is a sure bet for any high energy setting
  • 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

Made in Germany from durable B12 bronze, they offer volume and clarity without excess brightness or ring.

Definitely an upgrade from my 25 yr old paiste 502 ride. It is loud and cuts through like a knife. Great feel off the stick to as it hits it too.
