Meinl 12" Classics Custom Dark Splash

Meinl 12" Classics Custom Dark Splash Cymbal | West Coast Drum Shop

The Meinl 12" Classics Custom Dark Splash delivers a quick, explosive response with a rich musical character and a noticeably dark undertone. Its short sustain makes it ideal for sharp accents that cut through the mix without lingering.

Fast and Explosive Accent

The thin construction allows this 12" splash to open immediately with a lively burst of sound. Its medium volume provides enough presence for amplified music while the rapid decay keeps each accent clean and controlled.

Dark and Musical Character

Unlike brighter traditional splashes, the Classics Custom Dark Splash produces a darker timbre with a high-mid pitch. This combination gives it a distinctive voice that works especially well in rock, metal, pop, fusion, and studio settings.

B12 Bronze Construction

Crafted from B12 bronze, the CC12DAS offers a balanced combination of durability, projection, and tonal richness. Meinl's computerized manufacturing process provides consistent performance, while the wide-blade lathing and dark finish contribute to its bold appearance and controlled response.

Versatile Effects Cymbal

Use this splash for quick rhythmic punctuation, dramatic transitions, or layered effects within a larger cymbal setup. Its 12" diameter provides a fuller response than smaller splash cymbals while maintaining the speed and short sustain needed for precise accents.
