Meinl Byzance Dual 18" Crash Cymbal
Living up to their name, these cymbals are extremely dry, with low-pitched, trashy sounds and short sustain. The raw unlathed surfaces and extensive hand hammering suggest that their sound might be loud and fierce. In reality, the Extra Dry series reveals its dark, earthy tones and comes to life when played at lower volumes.
This crash is made up of a stunning contrast of extra dry and brilliant finish with a unique combination of hammering and lathing. Dual playing zones for riding and crashing. Opens up easily for trashy accents.
