17" Meinl Byzance - Brilliant

Product Description

The Meinl Byzance Brilliant Thin Crash 17" is a hand-hammered B20 crash cymbal with a warm, full-bodied tone and excellent dynamic control. The polished Brilliant surface adds extra shine to the sound, making it a great fit for both the drum kit and percussion setups.

This crash responds fast and clear without becoming weak, offering medium sustain and volume. Its broad tonal range makes it useful across genres such as rock, pop, fusion and latin. Playing dynamics let you shape both tone and volume with your attack.

Construction and craftsmanship

The Byzance series is made at Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional methods rooted in generations of craftsmanship. Each cymbal is cast from B20 bronze, 80% copper and 20% tin. The cast blank is heated, rolled and cooled following a carefully tested schedule until the correct thickness is reached, before the bell is shaped and the cymbal is hand-hammered into form. Series with a lathed surface, like Brilliant, are hand-lathed before being sent to Germany for quality control, sorting and finishing processes such as laser logo, brilliant finish and sandblasting. This closed cycle between Turkish craftsmanship and German quality control and finishing is key to the warm Byzance sound and consistently high standard.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want a crash with a warm character and fast response that works across a wide range of musical settings, whether on an acoustic drum kit or in a percussion setup.
