Massive Bell for Extreme Volume

Dark, Complex Voice

This cymbal features MEINL's Classics Custom Dark finish which gives it a rich, warm tone with dark, complex overtones. The dark finish helps focus the tone into a tight, muscular voice, but with plenty of depth. When playing on the bow or edge of the cymbal, you'll get a robust, metallic sound with a gradual build-up of sustain and wash.
