2. Next, think about the size of your drum kit. Some crash cymbals are smaller and are better for smaller drum kits, while others are larger and are better for larger drum kits.
3. Finally, think about the type of sound you want your crash cymbals to produce. Some crash cymbals are louder than others, so you may want to choose one that is louder than the others.

About the item
- 16” Classics Custom Dark crash cymbal — Classics Custom Dark crashes are a top choice for players who want a heavy metal sound without high pitch overtones — you get all of the cutting attack on the front end without a glassy sustain
- Dark finish with extra hammering — a highly specialized finishing process leaves this cymbal with shadowy tones and plenty of volume — extra deep hammering adds complexity to its character by shaping warmth and dryness into its intense attack
- Explosive cymbals for power players — Classics Custom Dark cymbals open up to deliver an energetic drive at loud dynamics, making them a sure bet for high octane styles like rock and metal
- Made from B10 bronze alloy — consisting of 90% copper and 10% tin, B10 bronze has a uniform sound that packs a punch and cuts through dense mixes easily — the natural color of the bronze comes through in the lathe marks that accent the dark finish
- A finish unlike any other — the dark finish is a part of the cymbal making process, not just a coating that can wear off overtime — the look will last a lifetime of playing, traveling and buffing (for those of us who want our gear looking brand new)
- Made in Germany with 100% renewable energy — Classics Custom Dark cymbals are made in our German factory with a lathe formed profile, extra hammering, wide blade lathing and a dark finish — we use 100% renewable energy to make our cymbals
