Classics Custom Dual 18" China Cymbal, Dark and Brilliant Finish — MADE IN GERMANY — Great for Rock, Metal and Fusion, 2-YEAR WARRANTY

Classics Custom Dual cymbals are not just a blend of existing Classics Custom finishes you may have seen before. There was a deeper intent to go after a very specific sound and feel. Having the dark center—along with deep over-hammering—gives the cymbals the ability to punch through with a dark and bold character. Lathed and highly polished edges soften the feel and create a flash of clean, high frequencies to round out the sound. The result is a blend of warmth, darkness and shimmering response that feels at home across many styles. Classics Custom Dual cymbals are made of B12 bronze alloy for a warmer fundamental tone that allows them to sit further down in the mix at softer dynamics and jump to life when energy lifts. Made in Germany from 100% renewable energy.
