The top of the Meinl cymbal features a Smoked Bronze finish, which gives the Pure Alloy Custom series an exceptionally modern look. The underside has a brilliant finish, giving the Meinl Pure Alloy Custom Trash-Crash 18" a distinctive presence , characterised by complex overtones and a warm decay.

The Smoked Bronze finish promises a perfectly balanced cymbal sound with a prominent presence of overtones. Alongside its elegant appearance, this creates a modern tonal profile, as all Pure Alloy Custom cymbals are excellently tuned to complement one another. 

The Pure Alloy Custom series impresses in every size with superb craftsmanship and a full-bodied sound. Thanks to its medium-thin thickness, the tone unfolds in a balanced way; furthermore, the underside of the cymbal contributes to an excellent frequency mix. The timeless blend of warmth and overtones suits almost any musical style and drum kit. 

The machined underside with a brilliant finish delivers a shimmering sound that blends unobtrusively into the mix. In addition, the top surface of the Meinl Pure Alloy Custom Series features larger hammer marks, which shorten the decay and offer soft, controlled definition with a pleasant playing feel.

The hi-hats cover the entire dynamic range, from crisp staccato to a gentle hiss. When closed tightly, the Pure Alloy Custom Hi-Hat sounds cutting, clear and precise; when slightly open, however, the bronze sound swells evenly and offers a slightly ‘trashy’ character. 

The Pure Alloy Custom Ride offers a blend of power and balanced sustain with a clear bell. The warm decay is clear and energetic, and the feel is exceptionally direct across every dynamic range. 

The medium-thin crashes from the Pure Alloy Custom series deliver the perfect blend of frequencies, followed by a warm and short decay. The Trash Crashes are characterised by an explosive attack with a washed-out undertone; they are also well suited for cymbal stacks.
