The Meinl Soundcaster Thin Crash Cymbal has a lightweight crash with a brilliant, clear attack, fast response and a warm, shimmering, short sustain. The Soundcaster Custom Cymbals have a built-in glassy high end that's grounded in a bed of warm tone. They're great sounds for live or studio work, and they're versatile enough for styles including metal, punk, alternative, rock, country, or pop. Soundcaster cymbals are made in Germany using B12 bronze alloy. The finish is super brilliant, giving them a striking appearance on stage.
