The Meinl Pure Alloy Custom 16" Extra Thin Hammered Crash delivers a dark, warm, and vivid crash sound with a smooth, rolling response. Made from Pure Alloy bronze, its extra-thin construction and large bow hammering produce a shimmering wash that remains expressive and musical across all dynamic levels.

The cymbal features a fully lathed surface combined with an extra-large, computer-controlled hammering pattern. This construction provides a more traditional cymbal feel with a higher wash-to-stick ratio, while the Pure Alloy material delivers a full-bodied wash and crisp, penetrating bell. Its low-mid pitch and medium-to-low volume make it particularly responsive for nuanced playing.

A smoked-bronze finish on the top contrasts beautifully with the brilliantly polished bottom, giving the cymbal a distinctive appearance on stage. With its sensitive, smooth, and warm character, the Pure Alloy Custom Extra Thin Hammered Crash is a versatile choice for players seeking a refined crash sound, available from Sky Music Australia.
