Meinl 16 Inch Classics Custom Dual Crash Cymbal

The Meinl Cymbals 16 inch Classics Custom Dual Crash brings together the best of both worlds with its innovative dual–finish design that creates a perfect balance between warm, rich tones and bright, cutting attack. This striking cymbal features a unique latheing process that combines a dark centre with brilliant finished outer edges, resulting in a stunning visual appearance that matches its exceptional sound quality. The B12 bronze construction paired with Meinl’s meticulous step–lathe formation and deep over–hammering technique produces a darker, punchier sound with distinct fundamental character.

What sets this crash apart is its explosive attack combined with warm shimmer that opens up to reveal a full spectrum of overtones. The fully lathed and buffed edges complement the dark center beautifully, creating not only an eye–catching appearance but also contributing to the cymbal’s quick, explosive response and controlled sustain. The complexity of the B12 bronze alloy and striking surface treatment provide a smooth feel that works brilliantly across both the lower and higher frequencies in your mix.

This warm, dark–toned crash cymbal sits comfortably in any musical context while adding character and spirit to your drum kit. The Classics Custom Dual series represents outstanding value, offering professional–level sound quality and visual appeal at an accessible price point for drummers seeking that perfect blend of warmth and punch.
