Meinl Benny Greb Signature Cymbals
The Benny Greb signature cymbal range is built around the Byzance Vintage Sand series — cymbals with a raw, unlathed finish that produces a dark, complex, and highly musical tone. The "sand" finish gives each cymbal a unique, slightly muted character that sits beautifully in a mix without overpowering other instruments.
