{"product_id":"16-classics-custom-dark-crash","title":"Meinl Classics Custom Dark 16\" Crash Cymbal","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBig Crash Energy, Dark and Controlled\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are crashes that bloom wide and linger, and then there are crashes that hit hard, cut through, and get out of the way. The Meinl Classics Custom Dark 16\" Crash lands firmly in that second camp. If you're playing with loud guitars — or even just want a crash that doesn't turn into a wash of noise — this cymbal is worth a serious look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from Meinl's B12 bronze alloy and shaped with high-tech computerized manufacturing, the Classics Custom Dark series is designed specifically for players who need cymbals that cut with agility. The 16\" size gives you a responsive, fast-speaking crash that's at home on a variety of setups without taking over the whole sonic picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers across metal, rock, pop, and fusion have found it fits naturally into dense mixes, providing that authoritative accent without demanding you hit it hard to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eB12 Bronze: Built to Cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B12 bronze alloy — with its higher copper-to-tin ratio — rings clearly and brightly, filling the air with complex upper harmonics, a cutting attack, and a shimmering decay. It's a formulation that prioritizes volume and clarity, which is exactly what you need when you're competing with distorted guitars on a loud stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeinl's Classics Custom Dark series adds a special finishing process on top of that, giving these cymbals dark, complex tones and a striking look that stands out visually as well as sonically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDark Look, Warm Touch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Dark\" in Classics Custom Dark refers to both the finish and the sound character. Additional hammering gives this crash a touch of warmth beneath its explosive attack — a full frequency range with a wide, full spread that doesn't sacrifice complexity for volume. It's loud, but it's musical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark finish also gives the cymbal a distinctive appearance on the kit — a nice contrast if you're mixing it with brilliant-finish cymbals, or a cohesive look if you're building out a full Classics Custom Dark setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeries: Classics Custom Dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSize: 16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial: B12 bronze alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinish: Dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-tech computerized manufacturing for consistent quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdditional hammering delivers a touch of warmth alongside explosive attack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull frequency range with wide, full spread and strong projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for metal, rock, pop, and fusion styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meinl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classics Custom Dark Crash\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e CC16DAC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
