Overview

A splash cymbal with crisp attack and versatile dynamics.

Ever reach for a splash that comes to life the moment it touches the stick? The MEINL Byzance Brilliant polyphonic splash cymbal is hand hammered in Turkey using old-world techniques that shape its thickness, profile, and feel. This 10" B20 bronze splash pairs a thin, lathed body with a large raw bell, creating a construction that supports a wide range of articulations. Its brilliant finish is fully lathed, then buffed to a reflective shine that naturally smooths sharp high frequencies—a thoughtful touch MEINL is known for.

Raw Bell Adds Immediate Projection With Controlled Sustain

The MEINL Byzance Brilliant polyphonic splash uses a large, unfinished raw bell that projects quickly and then settles into a smooth, controlled sustain. This raw surface introduces an added layer of complex overtones, contributing to the splash’s distinct tonal character. Combined with the thin edge and lathed body, the raw bell helps define the cymbal’s responsive feel.

Brilliant Finish Smooths High Frequencies for Blended Wash

Byzance Brilliant cymbals are fully lathed for a classic, open sound before the surface is buffed to a high gloss. This brilliant finish naturally tempers high frequencies, producing a wash that sits slightly underneath the mix compared to traditional finishes. On the polyphonic splash, this approach enhances clarity while maintaining the cymbal’s nuanced response.
