Questions & Answers

On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate the volume of this? I'm aware that sheet bronze cymbals don't always have a lot of volume or projection. ?

In some cases, the one I received is actually too loud. I've performed in both small clubs and large arenas. There's a lot of noise. In smaller settings, our sound guy constantly complains.

Is it easy for this cymbal to crack?

No, this cymbal isn't easily broken or bent. It's of excellent quality and has lasted me two years without showing any signs of wear.

As if it were a thunderstorm, it was beautiful, dark, loud, and washy
5/5

Most importantly, the cymbals in this lineup offer excellent value. They also have a fantastic appearance and will wow your friends. It's a little deceiving how dark it is. These cymbals are loud, even if their tonal quality is a little dark and washy. I mean, it's so loud that I have to hit them with a lot less force now. That's both a pro and a con, I suppose. I'm excited to get my dark 22* ride, but that's the only cymbals from this line I'd consider buying.

The product is excellent, but the packaging provided by Amazon is dreadful! I already knew the cymbal was perfect before I bought it
5/5

What I didn't realize/expect was that Amazon would take it out of its original packaging (which included the protective padding and rigidity) and place it (along with my 20") in a flimsy, weak, poorly-made box. folding box that has been sealed I'm surprised they arrived in one piece with no major damage. However, the tapered edge had been damaged by impact. If you want true resonance, this is crucial. br>Wow, Meinl, you've done a fantastic job. Amazon, you need to get your act together.

The sound is lovely and dark
5/5

Meinl's dark customs are without a doubt the best-sounding budget cymbals on the market. I own a 17, 19, and 20-inch television, with the latter being my favorite. On the impact of the cymbal, you can still hear some of the lower-quality hammering technique, but it's difficult to notice when everything is playing together. Due to their thickness, they are, however, extremely loud.

Invest in a good pair of earplugs! This is the loudest cymbal I've ever heard, with a deep tone that cuts through guitar and other instruments
5/5

The sound is perfectly suited to metal or other heavy music genres, and that's all there is to it. This cymbal is well worth the money if you play music like that.
