This MEINL Byzance Traditional 18" and 20" crash pack delivers extraordinarily versatile crash sounds. You'll appreciate the thin edge for effortless crashing and the lathed body for warm, articulate stick response. The large raw bell cuts through with powerful projection—play it alone for a penetrating attack that demands attention. Hand hammered from premium B20 bronze in Turkey, these cymbals blend old-world craftsmanship with modern versatility. The pronounced bell explodes with an initial blast before settling into a controlled, quiet roar with short sustain. Their wide dynamic range allows you to explore the nuances of your playing in any style, from delicate ghost notes to thunderous crashes. Whether tracking in your home studio, performing live or laying down parts in commercial sessions, these crashes will inspire your creativity.
