Deliciously Dark
Delivering a dark and explosive response, the Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve 18 inch Crash is a stunning option for all music styles.
Opening up quickly to deliver a burst of accenting tone, this crash has a sophisticated airiness to its sound.
Able to be used as a light ride, as well as a crash, this Meinl Byzance cymbal enables playing versatility to help you achieve the most from your cymbal setup.
From the light sizzle of a small stick tap to the full-on bursting spread of a strong hit, this 18 inch crash delivers responsive tone to fulfil the most diverse of dynamic needs.
Fast Attack, Quick Decay
The medium weight of this crash cymbal allows it to burst into action quickly to deliver a fast flash of musical punctuation.
The luscious spreading sustain and super quick decay ensure a neat, burst of tone that fades quickly for compact accents.
This crash cymbal's medium weight also serves to ensure a full-bodied sound that is filled with strong, rich shimmering tone, particularly when struck towards the top of the cymbal.
Striking Aesthetic
Each individual cymbal of the Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve range has a truly one-of-a-kind finish.
The hand hammering process utilised in the making of this crash means that every cymbal is unique.
Each cymbal blank has extra time and additional hammering spent on it to develop a more complex voice.
The hammering process is then followed by full lathing of the top and bottom of the cymbal to complete the stunning sound.
The top surface of the crash has intentionally been left free of large logos in order to let the natural beauty of the hand hammering hold its own.
Special Additions
As with all the Byzance Foundry Reservce cymbals, this crash comes in a specially designed box to keep it well protected.
The box also houses a pair of Meinl Stick & Brush Standard 5a drumsticks, a pair of 100% cotton cymbal gloves, a letter from Meinl managing director Reinhold Meinl and a certificate of authenticity.
Perfectly complementing the handcrafted, versatile tone of the cymbal, the beautiful attention to detail in the form of the packing and added extras serves to make the purchase of this Meinl crash feel super special.
