Cymbals for Heavy Music

Is your music heavy? If you play hard rock, metal, or fusion, the cymbals in the Meinl Classics Custom Dark Cymbal Box Set - 14" hats, 16" crash, a 20" ride, plus a bonus 18" crash - will let you cut through raucous guitars like a hot knife through butter. No more bashing just to be heard above the din. These cymbals are bright and richly musical, with complex, dark overtones. And they're loud! They also look pretty amazing. Among Sweetwater drummers, there's heavy buzz on the Meinl Classics Custom Dark Cymbal Box Set. Check out what these amazing cymbals can do for you.

Rich, dark, and loud

These cymbals pack a wallop. The hats attack brightly and serve up a sprightly chick and an organic slosh. The 16" crash delivers a visceral punch and a complex sustain. The ride furnishes a classic cutting ping with warm overtones and a gorgeous, musical bell that cuts beautifully. As a free bonus in the Meinl Classics Custom Dark Cymbal Box Set, you get an 18" dark crash. We've found this cymbal's size and sonic versatility make it perfect as a main crash.

Great sound and visuals

These Meinl Classics Custom Dark cymbals sound great! They are a little warmer sounding which is what I was looking for, they aren't harsh sounding or too high-pitched. I play rock and metal, and they are perfect for what I am looking for in a cymbal. I especially like the 20" ride and the 18" crash. These cymbals also look amazing, everyone who sees my drum set comments on how cool these cymbals look. I am very happy with this cymbal pack, it has everything I am looking for.

Amazing Sound!

I spent several months doing research on cymbal brands as I was looking for upgrade from the Meinl HCS cymbals my kit came with. After doing my homework and on different cymbal makers it was clear I wanted to stay with using Meinl Cymbals from a standpoint of brand loyalty and cost. I decided on the Meinl Classics Custom Dark box set and buying an additional 19" Meinl Classics Custom Dark cymbal to complete my set.

I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!!! OMG! These cymbals sound absolutely AWESOME! They are definitely worth it and the sound quality is nothing short of AMAZING. I play rock, hard rock and metal and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Meinl Classics Custom Dark cymbals to anyone who plays Rock n Roll in any genre. You will not be disappointed!

They are THAT DANG GOOD!
