Meinl 18″ Classics Custom Extreme Metal Crash China Cymbal

EVER WONDER WHY THESE CYMBALS ARE CALLED ‘EXTREME METAL’?

It’s due to the extreme nature of volume and clarity produced by their heavier weights across all models in addition to specific features, like the extra-large megabells on ride cymbals.

An often overlooked feature is the additional deep hammering on each cymbal. When we developed this line, we did not want to just create louder cymbals. Instead, our goal was to create louder cymbals that were still musical.

By adding the extra hammer blows, we were able to darken the tonality enough to counteract the heavier weight’s increased brightness. The result is a line of full-sounding cymbals with power, volume, and clarity.


CLASSICS CUSTOM EXTREME METAL
Remarkably strong attack with a cutting, metallic sound. A very powerful and resilient crash with a short sustain. Can be also used for crash/riding patterns.
