This professional-grade cymbal produces a warm, melodic tone with a smooth and balanced response, ideal for fusion, rock, pop, jazz, reggae, and world music. The Byzance Medium Thin Crash Traditional 19" has a medium volume and sustain, with a mid-bright timbre in the mid-high pitch range.

B20 Bronze Construction and Traditional Hand Hammering

Cast from premium B20 bronze, the Byzance Medium Thin Crash is hand hammered using techniques that create a harmoniously trashy tonality.

With an ultra-smooth and responsive touch, the Byzance Medium Thin Crash comes alive under your drumsticks and works well at any dynamic level. The reactive tonality and effortless playability produce expressive accents and a musical wash that enhances your drumming.

    There is nothing bad to say about this cymbal. It is well made and sounds great. I like using it with my 19 inch med/thin crash. They are very musician and speak softly when needed and loudly when commanded. The Meinl Byzance series are great sounding cymbals. I am very pleased that I switched from another brand to Menil. The music stores should promote more Meinl cymbals to provide more variety in the selection process instead of the usual brands currently being offered.
