The Meinl Byzance Traditional 18" Thin Crash Cymbal (B18TC) is a hand-hammered masterpiece crafted from B20 bronze alloy. As part of Meinl's prestigious Byzance series, this 18-inch thin crash delivers a washy, fairly dark sound with a full frequency spectrum and warm, smooth character that sits beautifully in any mix.
Hand-Hammered Craftsmanship
Every Meinl Byzance cymbal is completely hand hammered into shape, making each one a unique piece of art with sound characteristics that can never be duplicated. The Traditional finish features a completely lathed surface that produces a warm, smooth, and rich tone with a harmonic spectrum where the mids sit slightly forward. The result is a crash cymbal with the utmost musicality and an extensive dynamic range.
