B12 Bronze Construction Provides Depth and Warmth

Made from B12 bronze, a copper and tin alloy prized for its warm, complex tones, the Meinl Classics Custom Dual Crash has a robust, resonant voice. B12 bronze is carefully forged and hammered to achieve its distinctive dark, punchy qualities and enveloping warmth. The result is a cymbal with depth, dimension and a voice all its own.

Step-Lathe Formation and Over-Hammering Produce Dark, Defined Tones

Meinl employs meticulous crafting techniques, including a step-lathe formation process and deep over-hammering, to develop the Classics Custom Dual Crash's warm yet cutting voice. These techniques shape and refine the B12 bronze, coaxing out darker, punchier tones and a short sustain. The step-lathe formation process uses lathes of gradually decreasing grit to create smooth, rounded edges and a traditional dark center. Over-hammering further refines the bronze, enhancing its tonal qualities and producing fuller, more defined tones with a quick decay.

Visually Striking, Tonally Versatile

The Meinl Classics Custom Dual Crash features fully lathed and buffed edges surrounding a traditional dark center, creating an eye-catching appearance. Its lathed edges provide a bright, shimmering quality upon attack while the dark center aids in developing punchier, fuller tones. This combination of lathed edges and dark center allows the cymbal to sit comfortably across the sonic spectrum, complementing both the low and high ends of your setup.
