Meinl cymbal set for stage and studio
With the Meinl Byzance Traditional BT-CS1, you get a complete cymbal set built for drummers who want a professional foundation right away. This cymbal pack includes 14" Traditional Medium Hi-Hats, an 18" Traditional Medium Thin Crash and a 20" Traditional Medium Ride in a practical 14/18/20 setup.
The set is aimed at serious drummers who play in a band, record in the studio or teach. Its traditional sound with modern versatility makes this Meinl cymbal set suitable for styles including jazz, pop, funk and rock.
Byzance Traditional sound and response
The 14" hi-hats respond quickly and deliver a clear chick, giving you tight control across different playing styles. The 18" crash offers a wider dynamic range, so both subtle accents and stronger hits come through clearly.
On the 20" ride, you get a rich, defined ping with a subtle, musical wash. Together, that creates a balanced cymbal set that combines musicality and versatility in one setup.
Handmade B20 bronze from the Byzance Traditional series
Meinl makes the Byzance Traditional BT-CS1 entirely by hand in Turkey from B20 bronze. Each cymbal is hand hammered, matching the crafted character of the series and the professional look of the set.
If you want a complete cymbal set that gives you a strong starting point without putting together separate pieces, this Meinl set makes sense. In a music store like Magna Music, where the staff are players themselves, this is exactly the kind of setup that benefits from focused advice.
