• The Meinl Byzance Vintage 18" Medium Sand Crash Cymbal has been designed in collaboration with prolific German drummer Benny Greb. The lightweight vintage thin crash sounds fairly washy and dark and offers a soft attack with short sustain. Pitch matched and dark sounding, this cymbal stands out with its trashy crash sound and modern white-noise character.

Crafted with age in mind, the Vintage voice within Byzance has unique features that simulate the aging process of a cymbal to couple relic sounds with modern appeal. The Vintage line was born from the Sand Ride, a flagship cymbal developed with Meinl Cymbals artist, Benny Greb; now, it includes a wide array of cymbals which have helped to define the Meinl sound. Made in Turkey from B20 bronze and hand-hammered into shape. Sand models feature narrow blade lathing and a sandblasted finish, whereas Vintage Pure models are unlathed and raw.

Matt Garstka’s signature Equilibrium ride features a piercing bell that works in aggressive music, a nice stick attack with pleasing overtones for jazz-like patterns that are common in progressive music, and a crash-ability that doesn’t interfere with the former two attributes. "We didn't rush anything and I feel very good about that," says Matt. "We came up with something that has a great spread to it. This is in full balance. It has the full range of expression that I was looking for in a ride."

*please note due to being a brand new product launch the estimated shipping date is the middle of January.
