18 inch crash cymbal with fast response
If you want a crash cymbal that speaks immediately, the Meinl Byzance Jazz Crash Thin 18 inch is a strong match. This 18 inch cymbal delivers a fast, explosive crash sound with a warm dark tone and clear projection, so accents come through clearly without sounding harsh.
The complex voice and short sustain make this Meinl crash well suited to situations where you want nuance and do not want the cymbal to linger too long. That fits jazz especially well, but it also works for drummers looking for a defined, controlled crash.
Also usable as a light ride
What makes this Meinl Byzance Jazz Thin Crash even more interesting is that you can also use it as a light ride. So you get an 18 inch crash cymbal that opens up quickly for accents while still being usable when you want a lighter ride response.
That combination makes this Meinl cymbal a practical choice for players who want to cover multiple sound roles with one cymbal in their setup. At the Roosendaal store, you can also get personal advice from staff who play themselves and know how a jazz crash like this fits into a drum kit.
