Sound Character

The Jazz series is dark and thin with a beautiful sing and good projection. The deep tones and warm overtone register come with good volume control, making the series a favorite among studio engineers too. The B22JMTR has a clear, dark stick sound and a dark, fat crash built into the ride itself. A nice balance between ride and crash function in one cymbal.

Craftsmanship

Byzance cymbals are made in Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional handcraft methods. Each cymbal is cast from B20 alloy, heated, rolled and cooled according to a carefully tested schedule until the correct thickness is reached. The bell is shaped before hand-hammering forms the cymbal, and the surface is then hand-lathed. The raw cymbals are sent to Meinl's German factory for quality control, sorting and finishing, such as logo engraving. The combination of Turkish craftsmanship and German quality control and finishing is key to Byzance's warm sound and consistent standard.

Who It's For

A good choice for players in jazz, fusion and related genres who want a dark, warm ride with clear stick definition and a built-in crash character, without switching cymbals.
