Meinl Pure Alloy Custom 18" Extra Thin Hammered Crash Cymbal
The Meinl Pure Alloy Custom 18" Extra Thin Hammered Crash Cymbal (PAC18ETHC) offers a warm tone with a bright cut and shimmering response. Made in Germany from pure alloy bronze, this 18-inch extra thin hammered crash produces a velvety feel under the stick and opens up with a powerful roar, making it a professional-level cymbal that suits many styles and genres of music.
Custom Smoked-Bronze Finish
Meinl designed the Pure Alloy Custom series to stand out visually and sonically. The top features a striking custom smoked-bronze finish, while the bottom retains a brilliant finish. This dual-finish approach enhances the complex, full-bodied character and gives the cymbal a distinctive look behind the kit. The extra thin weight and pinpoint lathing combine for a sensitive, musical response with medium to short sustain.
