18" Meinl Byzance Brilliant Trash China - Brilliant Finish

Product Description

The Meinl Byzance Brilliant Trash China is an 18" hand-hammered B20 cymbal with cut-out holes for a super-trashy, explosive attack. The sound is dark and powerful yet nuanced, with medium spread and quick decay. Perfect for accents that hit hard and disappear fast.

Byzance Brilliant carries the warm, clear sound with good dynamics that defines the whole Brilliant series, but in this Trash China combines it with the characteristic effect of the holes. The cut-outs make the cymbal respond faster and more clearly while shortening the decay, giving accents a snappy rather than drawn-out character. By removing material from the cymbal, the sound moves out and fades faster. The fast response and quick decay these Trash China models are known for. The size, shape and placement of the holes also affect how trashy or dark the cymbal sounds.

Construction and finish

The cymbal is hand-hammered in B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin) and features a Brilliant Finish with hand-lathed top and bottom. It's manufactured in Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional craftsmanship, then quality-checked and finished at Meinl's German factory.

Who It's For

Its broad sound spectrum fits several genres. Pop, rock, funk, studio, drum'n'bass and fusion. Making it a great choice if you want a trashy, explosive effect cymbal with real character rather than a plain china for continuous playing.
