Meinl 20" Pure Alloy Custom Thin Cr.

I bought this cymbal to replace my 20" Byzance Extra Thin Hammered Crash, as after about 2 years I finally cracked it and I knew this series was good enough because I have previous experience with the Pure Alloy Customs and know that they can mostly blend with my other Byzance cymbals. It's a very beautiful cymbal with great presentation and power. It is noticeably thicker than my previous crash but possess a fast response nonetheless. The sound is definitely harsher and more aggressive than most of the Byzance line, so it's more suited for Rock, Metal, or other high energy genres of playing. The tone is less preferable to my old cymbal, but it's certainly good enough to make the cut, and I imagine it is going to be more durable and give me a longer service life despite my heavy-handed playing. Overall, I love it and would recommend it to any Rock or Metal drummer in search of a GOOD sounding, FAIRLY priced cymbal.
