14" Meinl Byzance Dual Multi-Trash Effects Cymbal - Raw/Brilliant

Product Description

The Byzance Dual Multi-Trash 14" is a hand-hammered effects cymbal from Meinl with a raw, unlathed surface and holes that deliver a fast response and extra trashy character. It works great as a crash but is also a perfect stack cymbal on anything from hi-hats to rides, with a wide sound spectrum suited to jazz, funk, reggae, studio, world, and electro.

The cymbal is hand-hammered from B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin) with a hand-lathed top and bottom, while the surface itself is left raw and unlathed. The edges are lathed with a Brilliant finish. The holes give the cymbal its distinct, fast trash response. A defining part of the Dual series character.

Sound Character

The sound character is warm, with low volume and a full attack. Combined with the open, trashy tone from the holes, it becomes a versatile cymbal that works both as a standalone crash and within a stack.

Craftsmanship

Byzance is made at Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional craftsmanship methods. Each cymbal is cast from B20 bronze, then heated, rolled, and cooled according to a carefully proven schedule until the correct thickness is reached, before the bell is shaped and hand-hammering begins. Series with a lathed surface are hand-lathed before being shipped to Meinl's German factory for quality control, sorting, and finishing processes such as laser logo engraving, Brilliant finish, and sandblasting. The combination of Turkish craftsmanship and German quality control and finishing is the key to Byzance's warm sound and consistently high standard. The series is available in several variants. Dual, Traditional, Vintage, Jazz, Extra Dry, Dark, and Brilliant. Each with unique sound characteristics and appearance.

Who It's For

A great choice if you want a flexible effects cymbal with both crash and stack qualities, and appreciate a warm yet trashy character across a range of musical settings.
