The MEINL Classics Custom Dark cymbal box set delivers a bold, resonant sound for ambitious drummers. These cymbals feature B10 bronze and undergo a special finishing process, resulting in dark, complex tones with clarity and cut. The set includes 14" hi-hats, a 16" crash and a 20" ride—a complete setup for driving rock rhythms.

Cut Through the Mix

With MEINL's Classics Custom Dark cymbals, you'll have no trouble being heard. They're designed to slice through the roar of guitars so you can lay down powerful grooves without having to play aggressively. The hi-hats provide a bright chick and sloshy slosh, while the crash has an immediate punch that sustains. The ride gives you a clear ping and musical bell. Overall, these cymbals do much of the work for you, allowing you to focus on your technique and creativity.

Versatile Tones for Any Genre

Don't let the "Dark" designation fool you—these cymbals have a range of tones suitable for more than just heavy music. Their complex overtones and musicality make them ideal for rock, pop, fusion and studio work. The hi-hats can provide subtle, splashy accents or driving eighth-note grooves. Use the crash to punctuate vocal lines or as a mini-solo voice. And the ride works for everything from quarter-note rock patterns to intricate jazz comping.

Premium Build for Durability

Like all MEINL cymbals, the Classics Custom Dark set is expertly handcrafted in Germany. They feature a B10 bronze alloy, which provides an ideal balance of tonal richness and strength. The hi-hats and crash have small hammer marks that contribute additional complexity to their sustain and decay. And the ride has MEINL's iconic Soundwave bottom grooves for clear definition. These professional-level cymbals are built to withstand the demands of regular gigging and studio use so you can rely on them for years to come.
