The Meinl Cymbals company simply refuse to stop expanding their product portfolio. The newest addition to that is the Classics Custom Dual series.
As the company states, these cymbals feature “a warmer fundamental tone that allows them to sit further down in the mix and blend with your kit, the lathed and polished edges have a flexible feel and create a fast response when crashed.

The resulting sound is a harmonious blend of warmth and explosive response that will feel at home both in the studio and on stage“.
