Meinl Candela CA14C
It will be immediately clear that this cymbal has been polished to a shine and given a brilliant finish. Furthermore, this crash has a very lightweight build, allowing you access to a wide array of sounds with very little effort. Compared to a regular crash that is played with drum sticks, this model has a warmer, darker sound, a rapid decay and a very modest volume, that allows you to easily use the CA14C in low-volume settings, combined with a cajon, for instance. All in all, this Candela crash is a highly professional addition to your drum kit.
