Meinl

Energetic, exploding attack and a louder response.

Crash cymbals with traditional, warm sound in an extremely wide dynamic spectrum.

Meinl's Byzance Traditional finish cymbals are handmade in Turkey using the traditional B20 bronze alloy. The profile of the cymbal is hand-hammered into shape. They are also lathed by hand. All this handwork goes into making a true musical instrument. These crash cymbals have a nice dark character with an explosive attack and a long decay. Good for Latin, jazz, rock, pop and country . . . a good all around cymbal.

Features

  • B20 bronze alloy
  • Hand hammered into shape
  • Utmost in musicality
  • Extensive range

A crash of rare color and range. Order today.

WOW!Today I tried this crash at my friends house, and it's unbelievable, we compared this crash with a Sabian HHX 18" Crash, and no questions asked, the AA Meinl wins.

I was excited to finally get this cymbal in the mail. I watched a bunch of videos and read reviews but my first time playing the 20" Byzance crash was when it came in the mail! At first thought I was a little concerned because it was definitely a darker china esque type sound. However after playing a bit on it and hitting it along with my other crash (18" zildjian a custom brilliant) I was in love. This cymbal cuts through the mix and has a nice long sustain. I can really hit this cymbal and not worry too much. But just to be on the safe side I picked up the warranty ;-) way to go Meinl!

This crash is amazing. I purchased the 20" and will be getting the 21" ASAP. Diverse is definitely the best way to describe it. I would use the crash for any genre. Fantastic cymbal - worth the $$

I have the Meinl Byzance Medium Crash Traditional 20 inch and it is worth the money.  I use it in a worship band and for hardcore screamo.  It is all around incredible and diverse.  It really breaks through the mix.
