Imagine the energy soaring as you hit the last chorus of the song, the cymbal's sound ripping through the air, yet never overpowering the mix. This is the feeling that inspired the creation of the Classics Custom Dark cymbals. They are designed to deliver power, a dialed-in sustain, and a shadowy mosaic of complex sound, all while eliminating bright overtones.The cymbal's punchy sound is a result of its extra deep hammering, additional lathing, and the use of B12 bronze alloy, a solid, reliable, and loud alloy that doesn't sound choked when you lay into it. The deep hammering darkens and dries the sound while adding tonal complexity, and the bands of exposed brightly colored bronze accent the dark finish to help dial-in overtones. The 18" Classics Custom Dark Trash Crash Cymbal, Thin, is aggressive, yet dark and warm, making it an ideal choice for power or fusion players. It's part of a large selection of standard and effects cymbals, all made in Germany, ensuring durability and high-quality sound.
