collapse expand iconDescription

The MEINL Classics Custom Dark heavy crash cymbal delivers a bold, energetic tone tailored for high-volume rock and metal. This professional-grade crash features a medium-heavy weight and dark, lathed finish that provides a powerful, cutting sound. Made from premium B10 bronze, the heavy crash opens with a full-bodied roar that cuts through dense mixes.

Powerful, Aggressive Voice

With its medium-heavy weight, this heavy crash produces a forceful, driving tone that propels your music with intensity. The thick bronze alloy generates substantial volume and a brash, metallic timbre suited for aggressive styles. This crash comes alive at high volume, unleashing a turbulent, churning sound with plenty of projection to soar over amplified guitars and pounding drums.

Dark, Distinctive Appearance

The heavy crash features MEINL's distinctive Classics Custom Dark finish, giving it a bold look ideal for rock and metal setups. The dark, lathed surface helps focus the cymbal's complex overtones, enhancing its cutting power in live and studio applications. This professional-level crash is built to withstand the constant, hard-hitting use of touring drummers while maintaining its powerful, brash voice and visual appeal.

Versatile, Responsive Performance

While optimized for loud volumes, the heavy crash remains versatile and responsive across a range of dynamics. It opens promptly when struck forcefully, delivering an energetic burst of sound. At lower volumes, this crash produces a full, warm wash with gradual decay. With its blend of power and responsiveness, the heavy crash is a workhorse crash suitable for a variety of musical styles and performance needs.
