Meinl Byzance B16CH platillos China Traditional

General

When you mention china cymbals, many drummers get little sparks in their eyes, as these cymbals always guarantee a lot of noise. Of course calling it 'noise' does not do justice to the sharp, angry sound of a good china cymbal, which is very functional when you need accents or washes in the rougher sections of your music. This particular china, the hand-hammered 16-inch B16CH traditional china, comes from Meinl's professional Byzance series

Meinl Byzance B16CH: a high-quality racket

Countless drummers use a Byzance china in their setup, and the B16CH might just be the most appealing of the bunch - its size gives it a powerful sound with plenty of presence that is neither too low-pitched nor too frail. This 16-inch Traditional China has a quick, brash attack and a long sustain so that you have plenty of time to enjoy the trashy sound, like any good china should have. It's a great cymbal for pop, rock and fusion music, for instance.
