Features

  • MADE IN GERMANY: Classics Custom Dark cymbals are made at the Meinl Cymbal factory in Gutenstetten, Germany; they're formed with high-tech German engineering for consistent dark tone, powerful feel, and durability across all models
  • WHY IT MATTERS: these cymbals will make your kit sound and look professional; plus, the big assortment makes it easy to find your voice whether it's just one piece or a matching complete set
  • WHAT'S IN THE BOX: one 22" crash-ride cymbal; its wide dynamic range and heavier hammering make it equally playable as a ride or crash; stick and bell definition will be highlighted when you need them to, or lay into the side for big crash hits
  • DRIVING THE SOUND: made of durable B12 bronze alloy weighted and shaped for loud volume; extra hammering and additional lathing dial-in overtones to give the cymbals a dark, but crisp sound and controlled decay
  • THE UPSIDE FOR YOU: you'll be heard next to distortion charged guitar amps or in wide-open, large rooms without sounding crazy bright or ringy
  • ONE BIG THING: the great-looking dark finish is part of the cymbal making processnot just a coating that can wear offso it will last a lifetime; bands of extra lathing expose the natural bronze
  • BEST FOR: rock, metal, fusion, worship; ALSO GREAT FOR: high-energy pop, R&B, funk
  • THE TAKEAWAY: Classics Custom Dark is for you if you like powerful cymbals with darker undertones, crisp attack, and a quick decay; their expert German craftsmanship is built to last

  • Simply an Amazing Ride!
Style: Medium Size: 22"
What can I say about this ride... two words... BUY IT! This ride should be in any drummers ride collection. I own a 20” Zildjian K Heavy Ride and a 21” Byzance Dark Ride, both over the $350 + range and this ride beats both of them. Honestly my favorite ride. For the price is a bargain. The ping on this ride is awesome and the bell is clear. Won’t recommend to crash on it, the ride I received it’s pretty heavy, much heavier than my K Heavy Ride. Also I would recommend this ride most for Rock, but it can be used to many types of music. All depends the dynamics used on it. So happy with the purchase and the packaging was very professional. Do yourself a favor and BUY IT! Also people BE SAFE with the COVID-19. ... show more

  • not your usual hybrid!
Style: Crash/Ride Size: 22"
Ive never been a huge fan of crash/rides, solely because they usually are below average as both. This thing definitely defies that standard. Has a great warm tone with a very quick decay. Riding it I'd call it average as far a cleanliness and control. Nothing crazy, but the breadth of tones you can produce with out muddying the tone or washing out is amazing. The bell is nice and large and projects, you can crash it and ride the bell without even affecting the crash carrying out its duties. The crash is heavy and very gong like, great for heavy, or very textured/epic music. Dont even get me started on the looks. ... show more

Extremely loud. Agreed on other review of sounding bright . Arrived with "dark" finish chipping off. Have been playing it lightly once a week at practice for a year and has huge bend in side

  • Arguably Good, with Caveats
Style: Crash/Ride Size: 22"
I like the dark collection. The 22” Crash/Ride is not my favorite. One, it rings like a gong. If you’re using this as a crash you’re going to want to use it VERY sparingly. And it’s very loud. Had to tape the hell out of it to use it in my micro-studio. Two: As a ride… Not great. It bell rides very nicely, but really no better than the 18” dark crash. Overall, if you have space to spare, it’s not bad, but for the size of it, only using it for an occasional crash or bell rides… I don’t think it’s worth it. Get a dedicated ride cymbal instead. ... show more

  • Killer ride
Style: Medium Size: 22"
Awesome dark ride. Love the ping and the tone of it. Just a little washy at low volumes. If you play rock or metal you’ll LOVE this ride

  • Great ride cymbal
Style: Medium Size: 22"
This ride met and exceeded all expectations. Great ping that cuts through the track, especially when playing blasts at high bpm where every cymbal hit needs to be able to cut through the rest of the blast beat.
