MEINL Byzance Traditional Polyphonic Crash Cymbal 18 in.

Starting with hand-hammering and following with hand lathing in Turkey, the word 'traditional' accurately describes the hand-forged shape and deeply rooted sound of the Byzance traditional polyphonic crash cymbal from Meinl. The Traditional series features a broad voice with a wide variety of sizes and weights that blend into any musical setting. Made in Turkey from B20 bronze, hand-hammered into shape with narrow blade lathing and a traditional finish. This crash cymbal projects quickly in an explosive blast and then immediately comes down to a quiet roar and short sustain. The bell offers another sonic voice with penetrating attack and volume when played alone.
