Meinl Pure Alloy 18" Extra Hammered Crash - PA18EHC

Effortless touch and clean sound. This is Meinl Pure Alloy. A timeless voice formed with fully lathed surfaces allows them to be expressive in virtually any style. Their refined nature has two sides: polished definition met by a velvety wash that encompasses a full tonal spectrum. Shimmering, smooth sounds bounce right along with your stick to create a reactive touch that extends through all dynamic levels. These cymbals cut with agility. Blanketing their superb stick definition is a sustain that plays out with just the right amount of strength and balanced wash.

The Pure Alloy Extra Hammered crashes feature a medium-thin weight and extensive hammering throughout. They open up easily and speak with a punchy warmth. The attack is quickly followed by a complex roar in the wash that tapers off for a fast decay.
