Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Classics Custom Dual series stands out with a "modern" approach: a strong visual identity serving a richer sound than a cymbal with a uniform finish. The idea is simple but effective: combining a warm fundamental with a lively response on impact to achieve an expressive palette that fits both contemporary productions and energetic live contexts. Made in Germany, these cymbals follow a logic of quality and manufacturing consistency, with production using 100% renewable energy.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
The Classics Custom Dual cymbals are aimed at drummers seeking a cymbal capable of transitioning from nuanced playing to more aggressive strikes without losing its personality. They are particularly suited for intermediate to advanced levels: reactive and dynamic enough to work accents, cymbal ghost notes, and attack variations, while remaining accessible to those wanting to "upgrade" their set with a more refined sound.
Regarding styles, their blend of warmth and explosive response works very well in rock, pop, fusion, modern metal, and alternative music, where a cymbal is expected to cut through the mix on crashes but retain body and grain in more controlled passages.
