Meinl 21" Classics Custom Dark Crash

Decent price and performance ratio.

Mostly I use it in my hardcore/punk band, where it fits really good. I'm not the heaviest hitter, so it's great to have a cymbal that opens up without beating it to tears. Also the sound is pretty complex for that kind of price.

Great quality, have it for almost 2 years, no cracks or other damage.
It can probably survive heavy hitters. It's on the thicker and heavier cymbal spectrum. Might not be the most versatile cymbal. As a ride - probably not. As a huge crash - YES!!

Been using it in studio, where, unfortunately, it does not perform so well. It's where the complex low pitch, dark character tunes in. It creates big sound and takes a lot of place in mix, but it lacks explosiveness. But it's subjective, some might love that kind of sound.

Overall great purchase.
