Meinl have launched three new crashes that share the thin edges and thicker unlathed bells. These new crashes will project quickly with an explosive blast, and then immediately coming down to a quiet roar and short sustain. The bell offers another sonic voice with penetrating attack and volume when played alone.

Meinl Byzance Vintage 10"/12"/14" Smack Stack Cymbals.

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”.

• The Meinl Byzance Vintage 18" Thin 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.

• 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.

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.
