Meinl 16inch Byzance Extra Dry Dual Crash Cymbal

This exceptional 16" Byzance Extra Dry Dual Crash Cymbal showcases Meinl's masterful blend of contrasting finishes and innovative craftsmanship. The striking combination of extra dry and brilliant surfaces creates a visually stunning instrument, while the unique hammering and lathing techniques produce distinctive tonal characteristics that set it apart from conventional crash cymbals.

Designed with dual playing zones, this versatile cymbal functions brilliantly for both riding and crashing applications. The thin weight construction allows it to open up with ease, making it perfect for creating those sought–after trashy accent sounds that cut through any mix. Its dark timbre and esoteric, dry character provide a low–mid pitch range with controlled volume and short sustain.

Crafted from premium B20 bronze with a combination of raw, brilliant, and traditional finishes, this cymbal excels across multiple musical genres including jazz, funk, R&B, studio work, and electronic music. The narrow blade lathing technique contributes to its unique sonic signature, making it an ideal choice for drummers seeking distinctive crash sounds with exceptional versatility.
