Meinl Candela Crash 16″, CA16C, Percussion Cymbal

Description

General
Meinl has cymbals in all shapes and sizes. The German brand even has a number of models for the more subtle percussionist. This Candela CA16C is a high-quality crash that was designed to be played by hand, and it has been carefully hand-hammered and finished, giving each individual cymbal a unique sound.

Meinl Candela CA16C
As the CA16C has been kept relatively lightweight, it is easy to play and reacts accurately to your slightest touch. The great thing with these cymbals is that you now have 10 fingers to manipulate it with, instead of just one or two drum sticks, giving you much more freedom to vary in tone and rhythm and a greater dynamic range. Overall, it has a modest volume and a warm, rich sound that decays quite rapidly, making the CA16C a very subtle crash cymbal that is perfect in combination with, for instance, a cajon or a cocktail setup.
