An excellent Crash Cymbal
Gionnis 16.11.2020
The Quality of this cymbal is excellent as you'd expect for a company like Meinl. The sound its good but it comes down to personal preference its definitely not a bright sounding cymbal but rather a dark sounding cymbal. 5/5 stars i would definitely recommend it.

The best addition i had in my cymbal set. First of all i am a heavy metal drummer , this crash is not for all genres and upon use this will be clear. The power it adds to your playing is outstanding . in my opinion this is the best 18'' heavy crash out there . The quality is also top , durability , consistancy and overall sound are neat. Professional as it is constructed to be , this one Must be included in every heavy metal, rock or hardcore set hands down

great sound
Tomasz K 11.02.2020
Sounds great and is able to withstand some punishment, as I'm rather a hard hitter and my technique is a bit lacking. A little on the heavy side, but that doesn't bother me. Would buy again.

Meinl 18" Classics Custom Dark Crash
Arnaud Feremans 16.01.2025
**Meinl 18" Classics Custom Dark Crash - A Powerful Statement**

The Meinl 18" Classics Custom Dark Crash is a masterpiece for drummers who crave both visual flair and exceptional sound. Its dark, unique finish immediately draws attention, and the tone it delivers is equally striking—rich, explosive, and with a depth that adds texture to any performance.

What truly sets this cymbal apart is its dynamic response. Whether you're going for a subtle swell or a full-on crash, it responds with precision and energy. It’s not shy about making its presence known, which is perfect for rock, metal, or any genre that demands power.

The only downside? It’s tough on sticks—this beast doesn’t hold back, and your gear will feel its intensity. But for the tone, playability, and pure style it offers, it’s worth every splinter. Highly recommended for drummers looking to make a statement!
