The MEINL Classics Custom Dark trash China cymbal in 16" and 18" sizes give you a dark and cutting tone with an explosive attack. This China cymbal features a unique finishing process resulting in complex tones along with the volume and clarity MEINL is known for. The widely spaced deep hammering and extra lathing provides a mix of warm and bright sounds with a fast decay. The added holes give an even trashier sound with more bite.

Dark, Complex Tones

The special finishing of the MEINL Classics Custom Dark trash China cymbal gives it a rich, dark tone quality. The hammering and lathing techniques create a blend of lows and highs for a full, shimmering sound. When you crash this China cymbal, you'll get a mix of warm, dark overtones and bright, cutting frequencies. The fast decay means this cymbal speaks quickly and powerfully before fading away.

Added Holes for Extra Trash

MEINL started with their already dark and trashy China cymbal, but then added holes to make it even more cutting and explosive. The holes give this China a sharp, jagged attack with a fast, abrupt end. The holes make it ideal for punk, metal and other heavy styles of music.

Quality Construction for the Serious Drummer

MEINL crafted this China cymbal from B20 bronze, an alloy known for producing musical, resonant cymbals. The heavyweight, unlathed bell provides a solid base for loud, penetrating crashes. The brilliant finish gives a smooth playing surface and attractive look. Everything about the MEINL Classics Custom Dark trash China cymbal is built to satisfy the needs of professional and dedicated drummers looking for a unique sound.
