The Meinl Classics Custom Dark Crash 19 CC19DAC is a 19-inch (48 cm) professional cymbal designed for drummers seeking a dark, complex sound with a quick decay. Made from a special bronze alloy, it features a hand-hammered surface that enhances the sound character and reduces overtones, making it ideal for jazz, fusion, and studio applications. The cymbal weighs approximately 1,200 grams and offers a balanced feel and responsive playability. Its medium weight allows for versatile dynamic control, from soft accents to powerful crashes, without excessive volume. The dark finish not only adds visual appeal but also contributes to a warm, dry sound profile. This crash cymbal is built for durability, with a reinforced cymbal edge and tapered edges that withstand intense use. It pairs well with other cymbals in the Meinl Classics Custom series for a cohesive setup. The dimensions include a cymbal edge diameter of 10 cm and an overall profile optimized for easy mounting on standard cymbal stands. Suitable for intermediate to advanced players, it delivers reliable performance in live and recording environments.
