18" Meinl Classics Custom Extreme Metal China

Product Description

The Meinl Classics Custom Extreme Metal China 18" (CC18EMCH-B) is a loud, hard-hammered china cymbal cast in B10 bronze. It delivers a bright tone with medium-high pitch, high sustain and strong projection – built to cut through in demanding genres like metal, rock and studio work.

• Bright, cutting tone with medium-high pitch
• High sustain and strong, loud volume
• Hard-hammered look and rugged build for heavy playing
• B10 alloy adds depth and brilliance usually found in pricier series

Sound and Materials

The cymbal is cast from B10 alloy – 90% copper and 10% tin – giving it a brilliance previously found mainly in more expensive series. Manufacturing uses Hi-Tech, computer-controlled processes for consistent quality. The finish is Brilliant, further emphasizing the bright character of the tone.

Feel and Use

The Extreme Metal series is built to handle hard playing without losing character. Its strong projection and high sustain let it cut through a dense mix, making it a solid pick for metal and rock drummers who need a china that stays audible at high volumes. It also works well in studio settings where a distinct, bright china sound is called for.

Who It's For

Suited to players in heavier genres who want a rugged china with clear attack and long decay, rather than a subtle, dampened effects cymbal.
