Sound Character

The Byzance Medium Crash has a round attack and controlled sustain. Compared to the Thin and Medium Thin crashes in the same series, it has a slightly harder attack, giving it a bit more directness while keeping the warm, full core tone that defines Byzance Traditional.

Craftsmanship

Byzance cymbals are made at Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional handcraft methods. Each cymbal is cast from B20 bronze, then heated, rolled and cooled following a carefully proven process until the correct thickness is reached. The bell is shaped before hand-hammering gives the cymbal its final form, and the surface is hand-lathed before the cymbal is shipped to Germany for quality control, sorting and finishing. This combination of Turkish craftsmanship and German quality control is key to Byzance's warm sound and consistent standard.

Who It's For

A great crash for players who want a warm, controllable tone with clear dynamics, whether you play rock, pop, fusion or latin.
