Meinl crash cymbal with a complex sound
The Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve 18 Crash is a crash cymbal for drummers who want plenty of detail in their sound. As part of the limited Byzance Foundry Reserve collection, Meinl highlights the craft of cymbal making with a voice built from multiple layers of tones and nuances.
The extra hammering gives this 18 inch crash cymbal a highly articulated dry stick attack, while deep dark low undertones add even more character. Meinl also refers to this as "the roar", a fitting name for the raw and rich response of this crash.
Deep hammer marks and shaved finish
What stands out right away is the deep unique hammering, which gives the cymbal a striking appearance. Deep craters across the surface work together with the shaved finish and shape both the look and the response of this Meinl cymbal.
The result is a crash cymbal with a strong personality and a clearly defined voice. If you are looking for an 18 inch Meinl crash cymbal with dry articulation, dark undertones and a handcrafted appearance, this Byzance Foundry Reserve fits that profile closely.
