19" Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve Crash Cymbal

Product Description

The Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve 19" Crash is an exclusive, hand-hammered cymbal in B20 bronze delivering a rich, complex tone with both deep body and shimmering top end. The extensive hammering gives it a wide range and strong dynamics, with controlled sustain that keeps the attack clear. It works great in the studio and live, across genres where expressiveness and dynamics matter.

Sound and Feel

The cymbal has a crisp attack with controlled sustain and volume. Its decay is controlled. It offers a delicate sizzle up top without becoming a washy blanket over the overall sound. Because of this, it also works well for softer playing, such as riding.

Construction

The Byzance Foundry Reserve 19" Crash is made from B20 bronze alloy, 80% copper and 20% tin, and is exclusively hand-hammered throughout. The cymbals are manufactured at Meinl's Turkish factory, then quality-checked and finished at Meinl's German factory.

About Byzance Foundry Reserve

Meinl's cymbal smiths have combined experience and craftsmanship to create this exclusive series. Byzance Foundry Reserve is more extensively processed than any other series in the range, where every hammer strike contributes to a nuanced tone with shimmering overtones and dark depth. The series offers strong dynamics and controlled sustain, so the distinct, woody attack is preserved even as tempo or intensity increases. These are exclusive, genre-spanning cymbals, though especially appreciated in studio settings and within styles like jazz, fusion, blues, funk and R&B.

Who It's For

A cymbal for players who want an expressive, dynamic crash with range. From delicate sizzle to powerful attack. And who move between several musical styles.
