Key Features
The Meinl 8" Classics Custom Dark Splash is a stellar addition to Meinl's lineup, bringing the distinctive sound of dark cymbals within reach of every drummer. Crafted with precision, this splash cymbal features widely spaced, deep hammering that creates complex and dark voicings. The additional lathing process refines the tonal qualities, resulting in a warm attack with plenty of cut.
When struck, the Custom Dark Splash delivers a rapid and punchy attack that decays instantly. Its distinct undertone of dark roar adds character to each hit, making it ideal for accent patterns at any tempo. Thanks to Meinl's consistent manufacturing methods, the Classics Custom Dark cymbals offer unparalleled versatility, sound quality, and striking aesthetics for your drum kit.
The included Cymbal Grabber Arm by Gear4music is the perfect piece of kit for positioning crashes and similar-sized cymbals on your kit. The clamp-rod combination allows for versatile placement around your kit. The Cymbal Grabber Arm's rod is fully height adjustable, while the clamp can be attached to existing cymbal stands. Ideal for both the studio and gigging drummers who might have limited space at different venues.

Always looking forward. That is the ethos that has seen Meinl excel through the cymbal market in recent years. A leader for innovation, Meinl use 6 different alloys to provide unmatched tonal diversity for their drummers.
The Classics Custom Dark Series uses the B10 bronze alloy. These cymbals are shaped using pressure point technology, before being machine hammered using a precise, computerised process. This ensures consistent sound quality with each cymbal. The cymbals then feature additional lathing. It's this unique twist on traditional design that provides the cymbals with unique, striking looks - complex, dark but rounded tonality. With an array of cymbals and cymbal sizes in the Classics Custom Dark series, there is so much you can use to shape your own original sound.
