DescriptionThe Meinl CC12DAS 12″ Classics Custom Dark Splash Cymbal delivers quick, explosive accents with a noticeably dark undertone. It builds instantly, then drops away fast thanks to its short sustain. Because it is thin and responsive, this splash adds sharp punctuation without cluttering the mix.Materials and Build QualityClassics Custom Dark cymbals undergo a special finishing process that creates dark and complex tones while preserving the clarity, cut, and volume the series is known for. This splash is crafted in Germany from B12 bronze and finished in a rich, dark look. Additionally, widely spaced deep hammering and additional lathing help round out its tonal qualities, creating a warmer mix of sound with an explosive response. Meinl also uses Pressure Point Technology and computerized hammering to support consistency and articulation. For care, Meinl recommends using Meinl Cymbal Cleaner.Performance and Use CaseThe Classics Custom Dark Splash suits metal, rock, pop, fusion, and studio setups where instant accents are essential. When struck, it delivers a fast, explosive hit with dark colour behind the attack. However, the short sustain keeps the sound tight and controlled. As a result, it works well for quick punches, fast fills, and effect layers that need clarity. Its high–mid pitch also helps the accent stay audible in dense arrangements.Key Features12″ Classics Custom Dark Splash CymbalQuick and explosive build-up with dark undertoneShort sustain for instant accentsB12 bronze construction with dark finishPressure Point Technology and computerized hammeringWidely spaced deep hammering with additional lathingWide-blade lathe profileMusical, rich character with dark timbreThin weight with medium volume responseMade in GermanyMore InformationThe Classics Custom Dark series combines dark appearance with clarity and cut for modern styles.
