    • Beautiful, dark, loud, washy like a thunderstorm
Style: Medium Size: 18"
Review Image by Aric L Chabot Aric L Chabot
This lineup of cymbals are most importantly a great value for the money. They also look incredible and will impress your friends. Dark is sort of misleading.. Though the tonal quality might be a smidge dark and washy, these cymbals are loud.. Like really loud to the point I have to hit them with quite a bit less force.. I guess that could be a pro and a con. I look forward to getting my dark 22* ride but those are the only cymbals I'd purchase from this line ... show more

    • Much better tones live
Style: Medium Size: 19"
This may be long, FYI. I came from using a certain "sponsor-all-drummers" brand, and this whole line of cymbals is so much better sounding! I started using S brand any years ago and just loved their sound. After taking a long hiatus from drums, I came back and used a certain A model, and liked the tone, but did not fully LOVE the playing experience. After a couple years of those, I figured I would try something new and more "under-dog". Boy, was that a mistake. I thought I could come to like their cymbals, and being that the model line was recommended to me for the style of music, I thought maybe I would learn to like them. Nope! After a year, 2 of their cymbals cracked, and they would not warranty them. I bought 2 more at their supposed Artist Pricing, and those cracked as well. Let me tell you, I am not that hard on my cymbals. Heck, the A model cymbals I started with, with exception to 1, are all still clean and playable after 5 years! So, fast forward to now, well, a couple months ago. I was going to try a different brand again, more set on finding that sound and tone I was looking for. Slightly dark, but still able to cut above loud guitars and some thrashing. I found this cymbal, 19", and was at first skeptical due to the coloring and look. I. Was. Shook! This ONE cymbal was able to clearly be heard over the loud distorted guitar and thundering bass, but not so much so that I was standing out like an elephant in a mine field. The playability, feel, sound and inflection was miles above the previous brands. And this is ONE cymbal! I have now switched all but 2 splashes to the Classic Dark series, and I could not be more pleased! Even my band members are complimenting me on the sound of these cymbals. Now, are these cymbals going to work with every style and genre of music? Probably not, but, if you want a dark under tone and crisp attack with decent decay, try these out! ... show more

Dark and earthy sound!! Good decay not too long. Sounds very good cuts through guitars and other instruments. Doesn’t overpower the rest of the instruments. Over all good quality.

    • Product great, Amazon packaging, appalling!
Style: Medium Size: 16"
The cymbal is perfect, but I knew that before I purchased it. What I didn't know/expect was that Amazon was going to remove it from its original packaging (containing the protective padding/rigidity) and place it (along with my 20") in a flimsy, weak, poorly-sealed folding box. I'm amazed they got here in one piece without severe damage. There was however impact damage along the tapered edge. That is significant if you want true resonance. Great job Meinl! Amazon, get it together. ... show more
