Meinl crash cymbal with a polyphonic character
The Meinl 18" Byzance Traditional Polyphonic Crash is a crash cymbal for drummers who want plenty of nuance from their setup. With a light touch you get a dark shimmer, while harder playing opens the cymbal up into a complex, musical explosion with a short, expressive sustain.
That polyphonic response makes this Meinl crash cymbal suitable for a wide range of dynamic music. From an acoustic jazz club to a pop arrangement with more impact, the cymbal follows your playing strength directly while keeping its articulation clear.
18 inch Byzance Traditional Polyphonic Crash
Its 18 inch size sits nicely between speed and depth. You get a quicker attack than a 20 inch model, while the sound still stays warm and full.
The hand-hammered finish and B20 bronze match the character of the Byzance Traditional series. These cymbals are made in Turkey and suit drummers looking for expression in both subtle and powerful accents.
