Built to withstand the most punishing performances, the Meinl Classics Custom Extreme Metal 18" Ride Cymbal brings uncompromising power to your kit. This compact ride features an oversized bell that generates penetrating tones, making it perfect for drummers who demand both volume and precision. The high–pitched, glassy ping sound carries a slightly trashy undertone that cuts through even the heaviest distortion–charged amplifiers.
Designed specifically for fast ride patterns and blasting techniques, this cymbal provides exceptional cut and volume without consuming valuable space around your drum kit. The huge bell creates a penetrating and loud sound that maintains clarity even during the most intense playing sessions. Night after night, this tough cymbal endures punishing sets while consistently providing the punch needed for metal and rock performances.
As an extreme version of the Classics Custom series, this ride cymbal retains the same brightness, clarity, and shimmer but adds a double–shot of punch and volume for enhanced power. The combination of these characteristics makes it suitable for Metal, Rock, Pop, Fusion and Studio applications, giving drummers the precision required to climb above heavy musical arrangements.
