Meinl MB8 18 Heavy Crash cymbal
Product no: 9000-0004-3476 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

With its considerable weight, the Mb8 Heavy Crash has a remarkably bright and open sound, while still delivering an explosive crash with a lengthy sustain. It has an 18-inch diameter, giving it a slightly higher pitch than its 20-inch sibling.

Great cymbal for beginning drummers

This cymbal features a brilliant finish, that doesn't just look good, but also adds some beautiful brilliance to the sound. All cymbals in the Mb8 series are made of B8 bronze, giving them plenty of durability to endure even the heaviest of hitters. All in all, this is a great cymbal for beginning drummers, with a fantastic combination of sound, looks and pricing.

Popular with drummers, drum corps and percussion groups

Altering between drum sticks, brushes or rutes will highlight very different aspects of this cymbal's sound, but no matter how you play it, the Mb8 Heavy Crash offers a great accent for any piece of music, making it popular with drummers, as well as drum bands and percussion groups.
