Sound Character

The Jazz series is dark and thin with a beautiful sing and fine projection. The Byzance Jazz 18" Medium Thin has a soft, delicate sound that suits jazz perfectly but works just as well outside jazz settings. The good balance between crash and ride function makes it flexible on stage and in the studio, where its excellent volume control has made it a favorite among sound engineers.

Craftsmanship

Byzance is produced at Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional craftsmanship methods. Each cymbal is cast from B20 bronze, which is 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 the surface is hand-lathed before it is shipped to Germany for quality control, sorting and finishing. The combination of Turkish craftsmanship and German quality control is the key to Byzance's characteristic warm sound and consistent standard.

Who It's For

A great choice if you want a cymbal with a dark, warm tone and a soft, delicate attack. Whether you play jazz or work across other genres like pop, rock, funk and fusion.
