Meinl Byzance B20EDTC Extra Dry Thin Crash cymbal

General

Every drummer needs a good crash, but you might want to consider thinking outside of the box when looking for one, and an interesting place to start is Meinl's Byzance series. This B20EDTC is a sizeable, 20-inch Extra Dry Thin Crash with a raw finish. This B20 bronze cymbal was hand-hammered by the artisans at Meinl and purposefully kept unlathed, or raw, in order to create the distinct sound these cymbals have become known for.

Meinl Byzance B20EDTC

This crash has a low pitch and sounds much warmer and more subtle than your average crash cymbal. Trashy overtones with rapid decay and an exceptionally dry sound are the hallmarks of this model. The lightweight Extra Dry Thin Crash is a joy to play, as it will respond accurately to even your lightest touch, giving it a great dynamic range. Furthermore, it has a soft stick response, giving it a comfortable and mellow sound. This is a professional cymbal that is very well suited for acoustic pop, jazz and many other more subtle styles of music.
