Meinl crash cymbal with a polyphonic character
If you want a lot of dynamics from one crash cymbal, the Meinl Byzance Traditional Polyphonic Crash 20" is a strong choice. This crash cymbal responds sensitively to your touch and reveals multiple dynamic layers, from a soft, warm and dry shimmer to a powerful open explosion with a slight trashy edge.
That polyphonic character makes this Meinl especially musical for drummers who value nuance and control. You can play subtle accents, but also hit harder without the cymbal losing its own character.
20 inch crash cymbal with rich sustain and deep body
The 20 inch size gives this cymbal more tonal richness, volume and a full sustain. You also get a deep body, which works well if you are looking for a larger crash cymbal that still stays broadly usable.
The traditional finish and hand-hammered construction contribute to the rich sound spectrum. That makes this Meinl Byzance Traditional Polyphonic Crash fit a wide range of styles such as jazz, fusion, pop, funk and modern rock.
Byzance Traditional: handmade from B20 bronze
Within the Byzance series, this Meinl crash cymbal is handmade in Turkey from B20 bronze. That material and production method appeal to drummers who value authentic craftsmanship and a distinctive cymbal sound.
