Great Sound, Fantastic Looks. Exceptional Value
Michael8641 17.07.2018
I was looking a new set of cymbals with a less bright tone that my usual set and came across the Meinl Classic Custom Dark range. I have to say that they are the most visual dramatic set of cymbals that I've come across and I was very impressed by samples of the sounds so I bought a basic starter set. When I got them delivered they were even better than I was expecting. So I decided to expand the set and added a small 10" splash and this 18" China. Again I am very pleased with the look and typical 'trashy' China sound. I am a gigging drummer playing rock music and the cymbals needed to cut though but not overpower things. Oddly enough my band have been complaining that my regular top line cymbal were TOO bright. So while I was myself intereste d in trying something different I didnt want to spend £1000's on another premium range. I wanted value for money and these are a great range at a great price. Highly recommended.

Great china
Xavierosky 17.06.2023
At first i was not sure how good this china was actually going to be, but after more research and convincing myself to buy it, it was worth every penny. This china is an incredible cymbal and it performs perfectly for anyone that plays anything metal. Also a tip for other people looking for cymbals, dont use the Thomann sound checks, use YouTube, you can hear the full performance of the cymbal. So do NOT be sceptical, meinl definitely knew what they we're doing with this one.

Really nice cymbal
AlfredR06 18.06.2025
This cymbal works really well, especially for metal and rock music. The sound is pretty bright and loud, which gives it a very unique sound that cuts through the other cymbals.

I personally never felt so comfortable with a china before. It penetrates the mix without being overwhelming, good tone and the sustain is just what I was looking for. Ideal for hard hitting music

Incredible sound
zt74 11.11.2025
Genuinely my favourite cymbal, It looks great, sounds like a much more expensive cymbal than it is. It has a very loud, trashy sound and is ideal for heavy metal.
