14" Meinl Byzance Brilliant China - Brilliant

Product Description

The Meinl Byzance Brilliant China 14" is a hand-hammered cymbal in B20 alloy with a fast, edgy sound that never gets too bright or piercing. The polished Brilliant finish adds a warm, full tone with great dynamic range, letting you shape the sound with your stroke.

• Hand-hammered B20 alloy. 80% copper, 20% tin
• Brilliant finish with hand-lathed top and bottom
• Warm sound character with medium sustain and volume
• Wide sound spectrum suited to rock, pop, fusion, latin and more

The cymbal is cast at Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional craftsmanship. The cast alloy is heated, rolled and cooled following a carefully proven schedule until the correct thickness is reached, before the bell is shaped and the cymbal is hand-hammered into form. The surface is then hand-lathed before the cymbal is shipped to Germany for quality control, sorting and finishing processes such as laser-engraved logos and the brilliant surface finish. It's this combination of Turkish craftsmanship and German quality control that gives Byzance its warm sound and consistent standard.

Sound Character

The Byzance Brilliant China delivers a fast, distinct attack with a warm, full tone. Its controllable dynamics make it work equally well as a subtle accent or, played harder, as a more cutting, edgy statement.

Who It's For

A great choice if you want a versatile china cymbal. It works across rock, pop, fusion and latin, and suits players who want a distinct sound without it turning too bright or piercing.

The Byzance series comes in six variants. Traditional, Vintage, Jazz, Extra Dry, Dark and Brilliant. Each with its own unique sound character and look.
