Meinl Cymbal Set Box Pack with 14” Hihats, 20” Ride, 16” Crash, Plus a FREE 18” Crash – Classics Custom Dark – Made In Germany, TWO-YEAR WARRANY (CCD460+18)

Love this cymbal pack. Hats sound great, I keep my hats close so I get a nice sizzle when they’re open, and these sound nice and crisp. The ride has a real dark almost eerie ping, and the bell is clear and distinct. The 16” Crash is my main crash, loud but not too washy and has a shorter sustain, and the 18” is just a monster crash, great for those really driving parts of a song, comparing pretty closely with the sound of a china. Overall they look and sound pretty awesome.

I am absolutely impressed by the quality and tone of these cymbals! It makes my kit look and sound professional. I was initially a bit concerned as to whether it would sound like "trash can lids" as several comments have noted--however, upon trying it for myself, I can confirm that the sound is very dynamic and powerful, and sounds/feels absolutely nothing as those critical comments described.I cannot stress how happy I am with my purchase and would strongly recommend these cymbals to others. They look gorgeous--even better in person--and sound even better.

These sound great for the money, and they look awesome. If you want an upgrade from the lower tier cymbals B8s or HCS sets, but aren't ready to drop a grand on a Byzance or K Customs set these are a great option. They are all real crisp and glassy sounding and the hi-hats especially are great, I put a ching ring on mine and it gets rid of all unwanted ring and gives a good effect. If you want some great mid tier cymbals these are a good option I have had them for a few months and am happy with the purchase.

Hi hats are sic. The china is sic. Love the stacks. To me they sound like a hand clap. Great for grooving. I have to get use to the 20” crash. The thrash cars complements the china. 17” and splash sound great. Definitely worth the purchase. Looking into getting the whole Dark Custom cymbal family.

Great set of cymbals. They have a nice sound for rock and a heavy feel. The hi hats are very responsive. The crash cymbals have a nice sustain and the trash cymbals are a nice blend of sounds between a china cymbal and a regular crash. The splash cymbal has a nice cutting sound thats quick and decays quick. All in all a great over all set. I added an additional 18” cymbal to round out the set.

Absolutely blown away by these cymbals! I have played many different cymbals over the years and after buying my new kit and being strapped for cash I decided to go with these instead of forking over another $1000+ for new cymbals. These things are LOUD. I mean they will cut through in any venue or on any track. The hats are super crisp and feel great, and the ride has a nice feel to it too. If you are transitioning from entry level playing to intermediate, these are a great jump up from B8's or something similar. I don't think I will ever go back to any other brand of cymbals again. These feel like professional cymbals that normal folk can afford.

I love these cymbals right out the gate. They are suitable for any beginner to upper-intermediate player and great for rock, jazz, and fusion. Highly versatile set of cymbals at an incredible price.

The only decent thing about this cymbal pack is the ride cymbal. The bell sounds amazing. The rest of it sounds like a tin can. Very trashy. The hats sound terrible when played open, the 16" crash sounds like a splash cymbal and the 18" crash has a very unrefined rasp. The crash cymbal response is also non-existent. You've got to really push to get any sort of bounce back when crashing. Very short decay. I recorded a few tracks in the studio with these and was super disappointed on playback. Plus, the entire set feels flimsy and cheap. They look cool, but trust me. If you're a seasoned player, stay away from these pieces of garbage. You'll hate them. Spend the extra few bucks on a set of A Customs or MB10's. And pay no attention to the Benny Greb, Anup Sastry and Alex Rudigner videos on YouTube. The audio tracks on all of those clips have been edited/mastered. Go play a set in person and you'll hear a stark difference. STAY AWAY.
