There’s a special kind of thrill in discovering a cymbal that punches far above its size, and the MEINL Classics Custom Dark Micro Stack Mini hi-hat delivers exactly that. Combining a light top cymbal with a heavier bottom in a compact format, it produces a sharp, high-pitched effect sound that’s ideal for quick accents and keeping solid time in dense musical settings. As part of the Classics Custom Dark Series, this mini hi-hat is shaped through a specialized finishing process that yields dark, complex tones while retaining the clarity, cut and volume the series is known for. Widely spaced deep hammering and additional lathing contribute to its rich, dark appearance and help create a warmer overall mix with an explosive, fast response.
