General
In terms of sound, the Meinl Byzance 18" Tradition Light Crash can really be described as an 'old school' jazz cymbal. The crash is very thin at the rim and the way the cymbal deflects gives you a short and soft sustain. The sound itself can be described as bright and cutting, but with enough texture and darker tone.
Meinl Byzance B18TRLC 18"
This crash is part of the Byzance series, which guarantees quality. Each cymbal is handcrafted and hammered for just that extra bit of detail and depth. This also makes each cymbal an absolutely unique specimen, which share the same characteristic features, yet differ slightly in sound. Despite the 18" Tradition Light Crash being described as a 'jazz' cymbal, it can of course be used in multiple genres. Listen and judge for yourself what this unique cymbal has to offer for you!
