Meinl Cymbals B16TC-B Byzance 16-Inch Brilliant Thin Crash Cymbal (VIDEO)

Building on the Traditional line, Byzance Brilliant cymbals are polished to create a mirror-like finish for a stunning look. The sonic result is a slightly refined sound with a smoother, lower frequency response and added shimmer. The Heavy Hammered models feature extra weight for cut and volume. These cymbals are made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and are hand hammered into shape by skilled Turkish cymbal smiths.

• Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze alloy — the Byzance 16” Thin Crash has an elastic feel that gives you a smooth cut along with a shimmering sustain blanketed by warm tone — the end result is a classic brilliant cymbal loaded with texture
• Reflective shine — Byzance Brilliant cymbals are fully lathed for a classic sound before the surface is buffed to a brilliant shine — this finish tones down high frequencies for a wash that sits more underneath your mix when compared to traditional finish

• 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
