Open Box MEINL Classics Custom Dark China Cymbal Level 2 18 in. 197881352639

The Meinl Classics Custom Dark China Cymbal 18" combines cutting-edge design with handcrafted quality. Meinl's Classics Custom series offers performers loud, bright cymbals tailored for today's amplified music. The Dark China's unlathed surface and wide lip produce a short, trashy sustain ideal for accenting dense rock and metal mixes.

A Modern Twist on a Classic Design

Meinl crafted the Dark China from B10 bronze, an alloy prized for its strength and tonal character. Its unlathed surface enhances overtones for a complex, distorted timbre. A wide, flanged edge amplifies its volume and attack. The result is a cymbal that roars to life, slicing through distorted guitars and synths.

Articulate and Responsive

The Dark China's medium weight and tapered profile give drummers nuanced control. Its fast, bright attack speaks clearly even at lower volumes, allowing for subtle accenting. The short sustain prevents overloud, ringing accents, producing an articulate chime that complements rapid-fire playing styles.

A Cymbal as Bold as Your Sound

The Dark China's unlathed finish creates a bold, mottled appearance as distinctive as its tone. Its shadowed bronze surface and wide lip embody the aggressive, forward-looking ethos of Meinl's Classics Custom series. For drummers seeking to push the boundaries of modern music, the Dark China delivers a trashy, responsive cymbal to match their vision.
