Meinl 18 inch Classics Custom Dual China Cymbal

This 18–inch Meinl Classics Custom Dual China Cymbal brings explosive power and dark complexity that cuts through the heaviest mix. The sharp attack is fueled by a brooding character that makes it perfect for aggressive playing styles, while its versatility shines when used in stack configurations for unique sonic textures.

Crafted in Germany from premium B12 bronze alloy, this cymbal features a lathe–formed profile with extra hammering for enhanced projection and tonal depth. The wide blade lathing technique creates the perfect balance between attack and sustain, ensuring every strike registers with clarity and power.

The visually striking surface treatment combines a dark finish centre with a fully lathed and buffed edge, creating both aesthetic appeal and tonal variation across the cymbal’s surface. This dual finish approach contributes to the cymbal’s complex voice and helps it stand out both sonically and visually on any kit.
