Meinl Cymbals Byzance Traditional Extra Thin Hammered Crash — Made in Turkey — B20 Bronze, 22-inch (B22ETHC) by Meinl Cymbals. Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze alloy — simply put, the Byzance 22″ Extra Thin Hammered Crash will make you buzz when you hit it — the ultra-smooth, yet super trashy response is nothing short of “popular”. Fully lathed surfaces — Byzance Traditional cymbals are fully lathed to give them a classic sound and look — some of the deeper hand hammer craters are visible, but the surface has been lathed down to smooth perfection for an effortless touch. Thin profile with extra deep hammering — large and deep hammer blows are added to create a darker and trashier tonality — the hammering in combination with the light weight and thin profile leaves this crash loaded with texture. Blossoming tonality — roaring to life and finding a comfortable spot in your mix, Byzance Traditional cymbals have a reactive touch that extends through any dynamic level you put them through. Modern versatility rooted in tradition — hand hammered into shape in Turkey using cast B20 bronze, Meinl Byzance cymbals are deeply rooted in traditional cymbal crafting methods, yet their old-world background is dialed-in to 21st century needs. The extreme light weight and the extensive hammer patterns result in a dark, trashy sound with a wide spread and a long sustain. An solid crash cymbal.
