Meinl 16" Classics Custom Dark Crash

The dark Classics range is rapidly becoming my favourite. They have a great smooth rounded sound that cuts well through a mix without being harsh, and yet are capable of producing nice light sparkly tones when tapped gently. They have a wide range of various tones, depending on where they're tapped.
The 16" inch is another great cymbal, and adds a nice tone to any sonic palette.
They sound fantastic on recordings of many styles, from rock, to softer tunes, since they respond o well at all dynamic ranges.
They also look damned cool!

Dark finish, looks amazing, excellant quality, amazing sound.
I have had a pair of these for a few years now and they are soo good. Used in a metal band setting they cut through the buzzing guitars and bass effortlessly just like the black blade! However they are pretty dynamic and work well in pretty much any situation.
