Meinl | CLassics Custom DUal series
Hybrid Cymbals With Striking Style And Tone
Meinl combines elements of their Classics Custom Dark and Custom Brilliant to create something entirely its own: the Classics Custom Dual Series.
What may look like dark-finished cymbals with lathed and polished edges are true hybrids, forged from B12 bronze alloy and carefully smithed for a low fundamental tone, warm and washy, comfortably positioned in any mix.



Centers respond with complex overtones and a quick punch, much like you’d expect from dark-finish cymbals, but play it on the flexible, brilliant-finish edge and it erupts in a fast, explosive shout. These dual characters blend into a warm, dynamic sound equally fit for the stage or the studio.
Choose from 20” and 22” rides; 16”, 18”, 19” and 20” crashes; 16” and 18” trash crashes; 16” and 18” chinas; 14” and 15” hi-hats; 10” and 12” splashes; or grab a whole set, available in three- or four-piece boxes.
For a new sound that’s more than the sum of its parts, preorder your Meinl Classics Custom Dual Series cymbals today.
