Description
The MEINL Classics Custom Dark splash cymbal delivers quick, punchy accents with a twist. Designed by MEINL, this 10" splash cymbal is crafted from B10 bronze for loud, bright tones that cut through the mix, allowing you to play with less effort. The special finishing process gives this model darker, warmer overtones and a stunning aesthetic unlike any other splash. Not only does it provide an immediate attack and short sustain for punctuation, but the complex harmonics add depth and richness to your sound.
Dark, Warm Tones for Unique Accents
The Custom Dark splash's one-of-a-kind sound sets it apart. While most splashes produce a bright, shimmering "splash," this model's dark finish elicits lower, mellower frequencies for a throaty wash of overtones. You get the familiar, quick response of a splash with the richness of a thin crash. Use it to accentuate ghost notes, backbeats and syncopations with a full, resonant splash that sings. The 10" size and hand hammering also give this splash a musical, focused tone that blends well in small combos and recording applications.
Premium B10 Bronze Construction
Like all MEINL Classics Custom cymbals, the Dark splash is cast from B10 bronze, a professional-grade alloy prized for its ideal balance of cut, tone and durability. B10 bronze gives this splash the volume and projection to be heard while retaining a musical, well-rounded sound with shimmering highs and a solid low end. The handcrafted construction also provides even, consistent tone from the center to the edge. B10 bronze is known for withstanding the heaviest playing styles without breaking down, giving you a splash cymbal that will last.
Stunning Look and Playability
Not only does the splash deliver a unique tone, but it offers a gorgeous look unlike any standard splash. The special finishing process darkens the bronze and highlights the distinctive hammering pattern. Used or new, this model makes an artistic statement that will turn heads and inspire your creativity. It is also highly responsive and easy to play, with enough flex and give for expressive splashes and accents. The MEINL Custom Dark splash blends visual appeal, premium construction and innovative sound in one professional-level effect cymbal.

Not the sound I was looking for. I watched a video of someone trying out this cymbal and it was the sound I have been searching for for the longest time. In the video it sounded great, but when I got it, it had a completely different sound than was on the video. Though, when I started using it with my band, 50 Foot of Flame (plug,lol), it actually fit it pretty nicely. It is a thick splash for sure and dry sounding.

For the price it's a great add to the kit. Not bright, almost a treat sound that complements my brighter crashes. Looks pretty cool too.

This is a killer addition to my kit, it cuts through the mix, is loud but has little to no wash. Cuts and gets out of the way. I love mine!
I highly recommend this cymbal to complete your set
