Tone and playing feel

The Byzance series is built on classic Turkish craftsmanship. Each cymbal is cast from B20 bronze, heated, rolled and cooled according to a carefully proven schedule until the correct thickness is reached. The bell is shaped before hand-hammering gives the cymbal its form, and series with a lathed surface are hand-turned before being sent on to Germany for quality control, sorting and finishing processes such as laser logo engraving, brilliant finish or sandblasting. This combination of Turkish craftsmanship and German finishing is the key to Byzance's warm, consistent sound.

The Medium Thin Crash model delivers a round attack with controlled sustain, making it easy to shape both tone and volume through your touch. A reliable all-around crash for most musical settings.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want a crash with a warm character and broad versatility, rather than a narrow, genre-specific sound.
