Handmade in Turkey
Handmade and hand-hammered in Turkey from B20 bronze alloy, the Meinl Byzance Assorted Cymbal Set was built to endure the force of all playing styles with ease. The dark, earthy timbre and defined stick response is suited to a wide range of musical styles where dark tone and feel are at the top of the 'must haves' list.
Meinl Byzance 15" Dual Hi-Hat
The Meinl Byzance Extra Dry 15’’ Hi-Hat Cymbals feature hand hammered, lathed surfaces which give a warm, defined, full-bodied tone. Meinl Byzance cymbals are the go-to cymbal when it comes to versatility. Every Byzance model is hand-hammered into shape by cymbal artisans in Turkey, giving each cymbal its own unique tone. The overall tone that Byzance delivers is dark warmth that flows with crisp definition. The Byzance 15’’ Dual Hi-Hat is a stunning contrast of dry and brilliant finish with a unique combination of hammering and lathing. These cymbals are versatile and dynamic with a full-bodied sound that has many applications.
Meinl Byzance 18'' Extra Dry Dual Crash
The Meinl 18'' Byzance Extra Dry Dual Crash Cymbal lives up to its name. This cymbal is extremely dry, with low-pitched, trashy sounds and a short sustain. The raw unlathed surface and extensive hand-hammering would suggest that its sound might be loud and fierce. But the 18'' Extra Dry Dual Crash gives off dark, earthy tones and comes to life when played at lower volumes.
Meinl Byzance 20" Traditional Extra Thin Hammered Crash
This cymbal is an extremely lightweight crash cymbal, providing a fast tone with a long sustain. The extensive hammer patterns help produce a dark, trashy sound with a wide spread and enhanced sustain.
The Meinl Traditional Finish cymbals feature traditional, fully-lathed cymbal surfaces for a classic stick response with a full tonal spectrum that's always easily accessible under any power. They can be expressive and usable in virtually any style through their shimmering, smooth sounds with beautiful, bright sustain.
Meinl Byzance 21" Traditional Polyphonic Ride
The Meinl Byzance Traditional 21'' Polyphonic Ride Cymbal is a high-quality ride cymbal from Meinl, featuring three distinct zones, providing a defined stick sound, a ringing, focused bell and a warm, singing wash. These Byzance Traditional cymbals are designed to produce a brighter tone than the Byzance Pure Metal series due to the unbuffed finish, which allows them to reach their high-end sonic capabilities. The cymbals are hand-hammered and crafted from Turkish B20 Bronze to provide a complex, shimmering tone. The Byzance Traditional Series combines bright tonality with a warm spread and make an excellent choice for a wide variety of musical styles.
