{"product_id":"classics-custom-extreme-metal-set","title":"Meinl Classics Custom Extreme Metal Cymbal Set","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhen the Guitars Get Loud, These Keep Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever lost your cymbals in the wash of distorted guitars and crashing double-kick, you already know why Meinl built the Classics Custom Extreme Metal series. These aren't casual gigging cymbals — they're designed from the ground up to cut through aggressive music and hold their own night after night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CC-EM480 set pairs a 14\" hi-hat, an 18\" crash, and a 20\" ride — a practical, well-matched configuration that covers the core needs of most metal and hard rock drummers. All three cymbals share the same tonal DNA: bright, high-pitched, and explosive, with a brilliant finish that looks as sharp as it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're laying into blast beats or locking in a powerful groove, this set is built for the player who needs volume and presence without sacrificing clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eB12 Bronze Built for Projection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classics Custom Extreme Metal cymbals are made from B12 bronze alloy — a formula Meinl uses to balance warmth with cutting power. The cymbals are weighted and shaped specifically for extra-loud output with a controlled sustain, so your notes speak clearly rather than turning into an indistinct wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecision computerized hammering dials in the musical frequencies across every model, and the fully lathed brilliant finish delivers a clean, bright attack. You get that punchy \"cut through anything\" quality that metal drummers need, without the cymbals going completely unruly at higher volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Three-Piece Setup That Works Together\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 14\" hi-hats deliver a sharp, piercing chick and a strong, energetic open sound — exactly what you want when you need to be heard over heavily amplified bandmates. The 18\" crash responds with immediate attack and a cutting, metallic character. And the 20\" ride gives you a large, penetrating bell with a high-pitched, glassy ping that projects clearly even in the loudest live mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause all three come from the same series, they share a cohesive character. You won't have to hunt for cymbals that \"go together\" — Meinl has already done that work for you with this matched set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Classics Custom Extreme Metal cymbal is produced at the Meinl factory in Gutenstetten, Germany. High-tech manufacturing paired with Pressure Point Technology and computerized hammering ensures consistent tone and feel across the lineup — so the crash you get behaves like the one in the demo video, not a different piece that just happens to share a name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers who need cymbals that are dependable, durable, and purpose-built for high-energy settings will find the CC-EM480 a solid starting point for a metal-ready kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCymbal Set:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14\" Extreme Metal Hi-Hat (top and bottom), 18\" Extreme Metal Crash, 20\" Extreme Metal Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e B12 bronze alloy for bright, projecting tone with controlled sustain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brilliant finish for a clean, bright attack and modern look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pressure Point Technology and computerized hammering for consistent musical frequencies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLathe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully lathed surfaces across all cymbals in the set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra heavy — voiced for high-volume, aggressive playing styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal, rock — suited for high-energy settings and loud stage environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Germany at the Meinl Cymbal factory in Gutenstetten\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 Extreme Metal Cymbal Set\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e CC-EM480\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
