Byzance Vintage Trash Splash The sandblasted surface and the different sized cut-outs give the cymbal a unique look and lots of trashiness. Remarkably soft feel due to its thinner weight and sandblasted finish.
The additional 8" & 16" Smack Stack cymbals are designed to go with the standard 10"/12"/14" set more sound variations, more volume and a fatter tone.
Styles: Pop, Fusion, Funk, R&B, Studio, Electro Timbre: Dark Character: Experimental, Vintage, Dry Pitch: Low Volume: Medium to Low Sustain: Short Weight: Medium Finish: Dark, Raw Material: B20 Bronze
The Byzance Vintage Smack Stack features three B20 bronze discs shaped to create a distinctive 'clap' or 'electronic snare sound' sound effect. The stack can be manipulated by adjusting the tension of the cymbal stand’s wing nut. Increased tension produces a crisp attack and short decay ideal for quick accents, while loose settings yield a longer sustain. Works well when paired with a snare drum for enhanced back beats, or as an alternative to your snare altogether. The discs are sized 10”, 12”, and 14”.

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.
A completely unique look and sound is found in this instrument. It starts with hand-hammering and undergoes several steps until the holes are added. The result is cymbal that quickly speaks with a trashy, white-noise burst followed by fast, dry decay. Great for accents and stacking.

The unusual sandblasted surface gives a soft feel and a distinct matte finish. The Byzance vintage cymbals feature a low, dark and somewhat dry washy sound that isn’t too soft or loud. With its great stick definition and short sustain, you can dig into Byzance Vintage for total control at all times. It’s a sound that fits into any music that isn’t in the upper decibel levels.
The different sizes and shapes of the cut-outs gives the cymbal a unique look and a wide spread and a trashy, noisy sound. Recommended for quick accents and punctuations.

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."
