The Meinl 18in Classics Custom Dual Trash Crash Cymbal combines the warm characteristics of B12 bronze with Meinl’s precision step–lathe formation process and deep over–hammering technique. This meticulous craftsmanship creates a darker, more defined sound profile with a distinct fundamental character that cuts through any mix.
Visually striking with fully lathed and buffed edges, the cymbal features a dark centre section with strategic hole cutouts that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. These design elements contribute to the cymbal’s fast attack response, allowing it to speak quickly while maintaining minimal sustain for crisp, controlled crashes.
The 18–inch diameter makes this cymbal particularly suitable for crash stack configurations, where it produces an excellent trashy mid–range crash sound with added depth and complexity. Its versatile nature allows drummers to explore various sonic possibilities while maintaining the distinctive dual trash character.
