General
Meinl's Byzance series consists of versatile cymbals with a mostly traditional sound. You can find the right Byzance cymbal for virtually any style of music. The B17DAC is a Dark Crash with a very distinct sound. It features an unlathed surface, showing off the original colour and texture of the material and the hammer-marks that indicate its Byzance pedigree (as all Byzance cymbals are hand-hammered). It really is a sight to behold.
Meinl Byzance B17DAC
This no-nonsense approach to its creation leads to a pure, earthy sound. It has a powerful attack, but relatively short sustain, and an esoteric, shrouded character that is rich with low-frequencies. The B17DAC Dark Crash is a particularly great addition to atmospheric, demure music or sections with an air of mystery to them. This cymbal is made to endure long-term, intensive use and meets Meinl's highest professional standards.
