Meinl Pure Alloy Custom 18in Extra Thin Hammered Crash Cymbal

This Extra Thin Hammered Crash features a custom smoked-bronze top and brilliant bottom plus a thin weight and extra-large hammering across the bow. Producing a velvety crash under the stick due to the thinner weight, this cymbal speaks easily from whisper to roar. The additional hammering works in dark tonality and warmth. Pure Alloy Custom is a unique series that offers smooth tonality, a great feel under the stick, and a distinctive look on any drum kit. They produce a slightly softer attack with a warmer body and fast decay, while maintaining the bright shimmer and sustain that Pure Alloy is known for. Made in Germany from pure Alloy bronze and hammered into shape. To make these cymbals visually stand out, we applied a finish on top called custom smoked-bronze and polished the bottom to a brilliant finish.
