Meinl Byzance B14TC: modest and esoteric
Meinl certainly knows how to get the most out of their cymbals. This thin crash has a remarkably direct response with a soft attack, while it produces a dark and washy core sound. The B14TC is not about producing an aggressive, cutting sound, which makes it excellently suited for use in jazz and fusion settings. The airy character and limited sustain of this cymbal is best suited for smooth styles of music that don't call for cutting power or ear-splitting trebles. If you're looking for warm, direct and smooth accents, you can trust this 14-inch Thin Crash to deliver!
