Made in Germany from Pure Alloy Bronze (B12), Meinl wanted to make these Cymbals stand out. A New finish was applied on the top of these cymbals called Custom Smoked-Bronze and a brilliant finish has been left on the bottom. Pure Alloy Custom crashes are slightly warmer with a bright cut and shimmering response. These crashes have a faster decay due to their medium-thin weight. The Meinl Pure Alloy Custom Trash Crash with added holes explodes with a fast attack and has a short sustain. A great cymbal for quick and trashy accents.
