I had been using the Classics Custom Dark 18'' Heavy China for a while and, while I was happy, I was also tempted to experiment with a slightly brighter sound.
It suits my needs perfectly in terms of sound. It can also take a hell of a beating, which I have very much appreciated with the previous Meinl chinas that I have used. I'm a heavy hitter so it's good to know that this china is also top notch in terms of quality.
The design of the cymbal is of course an extra little bonus, as my drumset is focused around the black-and-gold aesthetic and these Classics Custom Dual cymbals look very sleek! This china combines everything that I've ever wanted from a china cymbal, I'm very happy with my purchace!
