A punchy, total eclipse-dark crash with a quick decay.
The Byzance Crash Cymbal is dark in a low-frequency range, and esoteric character caused by the untreated finished. Earthy with a strong attack and short sustain.
The Meinl Byzance Dark series is handmade in Turkey using B20 bronze alloy. The surface of the cymbals are completely unlathed. They have a raw natural and unprocessed look.
Features
- B20 bronze alloy
- Hand hammered into shape
- Utmost in musicality

Comments about Meinl Byzance Dark Crash Cymbal:
I couldnt be happier with this cymbal. I have the 17" and it blends great with my 18" meinl mb10 medium crash, 20" zildjian k ride and zildjian new beat hats. Separately it has nice contrast. It has a dark earthy grit to it that dies off quick, and has a low lingering ring. Very interesting cymbal. If youre looking for something a little different for your setup. This is your cymbal. I love it.

Comments about Meinl Byzance Dark Crash Cymbal:
this thing is the darkest cymbal i have ever owned. really loud and mixes very well in a mix. has a very distinct flavor all its own. also the loudest cymbal i have (it's the 18" model). playing without earplugs may hurt. i absolutely love this thing and plan on buying more from the byzance line.
Pros
- Bright Sound
- Responsive Feel
Cons
- Sort of quiet
Best Uses
- Ambient
- Breakdowns
- Buildups
Comments about Meinl Byzance Dark Crash Cymbal:
I played this crash (18in. and 16in.) in a Guitar Center store about a year ago and I was totally blown away - they sound incredible together and I instantly fell in love. Finally got around to getting one myself (I got the 18in. and will be buying the 16in. eventually as well) and I got it in the mail today. I have to say, my earlier excitement for this crash was well-deserved! It sounds great. It's not too loud for an 18in crash, but the quality of the sound makes up for it. Great for breakdowns and buildups. Meinl makes great, high-quality cymbals and I absolutely reccommend this!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Meinl Byzance Dark Crash Cymbal:
for any drummer who likes to ride on the crash this is the one for you. I have the 16 inch and all i can say is that some times big things come in small packages. Meinl byzance series are the best cymbals out there so many choices that if you dont like this one look at the other meinl byzance series they have a sound for you.
Comments about Meinl Byzance Dark Crash Cymbal:
So I've had this cymbal (17") for several months now and I think its incredible. After the 4 months I've had it, it doesn't even show the slightest bit of wear. No stick marks or blemished visible the the naked eye. I was so amazed that I even tried to find some with a magnifying glass... Not a scratch. Meinl makes the, by far, most durable cymbals and I personally believe they sound the best. This specific cymbal has a really explosive attack with beautiful, dark, trashy overtones. When I play jazz I will lightly ride it for an incredibly complex, dark wash. It makes a perfect accent cymbal for rock. I personally love it the most when I play metal/hardcore music. It puts out a great amount of volume with a trashy and dark, yet somehow slightly bright sound. This is an incredibly complex and sophisticated cymbal that will not disappoint you. If you've got the money, invest in this cymbal.
Comments about Meinl Byzance Dark Crash Cymbal:
This cymbal is earthy and amazing. It feels like it'll never break and sounds great in many different settings. Hit it a bunch of different ways and get a bunch of different sounds. Stop reading, go buy it.
