Meinl Classics Custom Dark 20Inch Crash

The Meinl Classics Custom 20" Dark Crash Cymbal brings an aggressive punch with a shadowy, complex tone that cuts through the densest mix. This German–made cymbal combines the cutting nature of the Classics Custom series with an intense, dark wash that surrounds your playing with warmth and complexity.

Crafted from B12 bronze alloy with a lathe–formed profile, these cymbals feature extra hammering that creates deep craters across the surface. This extensive hammering darkens and dries the sound while adding significant tonal complexity. The additional lathing creates bands of exposed bronze that accent the dark finish, helping to dial in the overtones perfectly.

The B12 bronze construction provides a solid, reliable foundation that remains loud and responsive even when you really lay into it. The wide blade lathing and dark finish work together to create cymbals that give you the snap needed to cut through electric guitars while maintaining that deeper, more complex character that comes from the heavy hammering process.
