The Meinl Cymbals 18–inch Classics Custom Dual Crash brings together the best of both worlds with its innovative dual–finish design that creates a perfect balance between warm, rich tones and bright, cutting attack. This exceptional cymbal features Meinl’s unique latheing process, combining a dark centre with brilliant finished outer edges to produce a stunning visual appearance that matches its impressive sonic capabilities.
Crafted from premium B12 bronze and shaped through Meinl’s meticulous step–lathe formation process and deep over–hammering technique, this crash cymbal develops a darker, punchier sound with distinct fundamental character. The explosive attack is complemented by warm shimmer, creating a full spectrum of overtones that open up beautifully when played.
The fully lathed and buffed edges work alongside the dark center to create quick, explosive attack with short sustain, while the complexity and warmth of the B12 bronze construction provides smooth feel across both lower and higher frequency ranges. This warm, dark–toned crash will sit comfortably in any mix while adding spirit and character to your drum kit.
