About this item

  • MADE IN GERMANY: Classics Custom Brilliant cymbals are made at the Meinl Cymbal factory in Gutenstetten, Germany; they're formed with high-tech German engineering for consistent bright tone, powerful feel, and durability across all models
  • WHY IT MATTERS: these cymbals will make your kit sound and look professional; plus, the big assortment makes it easy to find your voice whether it's just one piece or a matching complete set
  • WHAT'S IN THE BOX: one 18" trash china cymbal; the Classics Custom Brilliant trash china cuts through mixes easily with a lightning-fast decay; the flanged edge gives you smooth stick feel, and the holes boost trashy, dry tone while shortening sustain
  • DRIVING THE SOUND: made of durable B12 bronze alloy weighted and shaped for loud volume and controlled sustain; fully lathed surfaces with brilliant finish produce clean tone, and precision hammering dials-in musical frequencies
  • THE UPSIDE FOR YOU: you'll be heard next to distortion charged guitar amps or in wide-open, large rooms with a bright cymbal cut that doesn't overtake or ring out forever
  • ZOOM IN: the mirror-like finish adds shimmer and brilliance to both the sound and look; these cymbals will give your kit a great stage presence
  • BEST FOR: rock, metal, fusion, worship; ALSO GREAT FOR: high-energy pop, R&B, funk
  • THE TAKEAWAY: Classics Custom Brilliant is for you if you like powerful cymbals with clean tone, bright attack, and a controlled sustain; their expert German craftsmanship is built to last


Classics Custom cymbals from MEINL are designed to cut above the roar of guitars, doing most of the work for you so you don't have to play as hard to be heard. MEINL utilizes a B10 bronze alloy to make these cymbals pack a loud and bright punch with rich musical tones. The Classics Custom 18-inch trash china delivers a full-bodied, especially trashy attack and sustain with dominant mids. This cymbal has excellent crashability and is great to use in a cymbal stack for added sound effects. Classics Custom cymbals are recommended for most styles of music, including Metal, Rock, Pop, Fusion, and Studio. The MEINL cymbal cleaner (model# MCCL) works great to restore and maintain shine on these brilliant finish cymbals.

This is exactly what I was looking for! It’s got a great sound. Not overbearing and not overly trashy. I really like it

A little tinny but packs a very powerful punch. When mic’d up in the studio there were no issues that I could find after a little editing. Great middle of the road China cymbal

Sounds amazing!!!!! The price is really good too for an 18" china. I ended up getting the whole series after trying out this one cymbal.

I'd gone through several china crashes before purchasing this one, and disliked each of them. They were too "gong-y", and had wayyyy too much sustain; none had that explosive (but not obnoxious) dry, crisp, washy sound I was looking for - the perfect sound for accents and hard rock rides. This one though, has that exact sound. Bright enough to cut, but doesn't stand out too much from the mix. Decay is trashy and quick - just like I wanted. I like it more and more every time I hit it.

I stacked this with an old 8in zildjian paper thin crash and the sound is perfect.

Was looking for a china with a more washy sound, not so sharp and this is exactly what I was looking for. What more needs be said.

Hi,This particular cymbal was 1 style that i had been waiting for on market, the look is so great, the sound is a bit duller than i wished for. Nevertheless, i love it. Thanks to Meinl & Amazon.
