The Meinl Soundcaster Fusion Powerful crash cymbal has enhanced brightness compared to the medium-weight fusion crash, yet retains plenty of warmth while maintaining a wide frequency. It has a swelling attack with a long sustain, so it's suited for powerful accents. The Meinl Soundcaster cymbals are the result of extensive research and development efforts in finding new and exciting sounds. The cymbals are made from B12 bronze alloy for a smooth, rich sound with great dynamics and expression. Soundcaster cymbals are ideal for the creative and expressive drummer. The finish on the Meinl Soundcaster Fusion crash cymbal has an outstanding look; it combines two different finishes in one cymbal. The lathed surface section creates a thinner edge compared to the unlathed, brilliant finish area at the middle of the cymbal. These different material thicknesses effect a warm and shimmering sound with an enhanced wash.
