Very Expressive Multi-zoned Crash
The Polyphonic Crash cymbal from Meinl’s Byzance Traditional lineup affords drummers all of the characterful, broad-voiced attack and subtle sustain that you’d expect from the Byzance Traditional — but there’s a twist! Courtesy of its un-lathed bell, the Polyphonic offers a dry and penetrative attack at its center that exudes a definitive presence all its own, providing a unique degree of versatility that really lives up to its name. Outside the bell, the beautiful hand-hammered and hand-lathed surface of this B20 bronze crash sounds just as phenomenal. Its traditional finish not only looks great, but pairs perfectly with thinly crafted edges that contrast the thicker bell for an exclusively dark and expressive sound. Blending this crash into any mix is a cinch, as its darkly explosive nature is just as welcome for jazz and balladic applications as it is for complementing your heavier, more rock-oriented cymbal effect sections. Sweetwater’s drummers can certainly attest to the enjoyable playability that this versatile cymbal offers — the Polyphonic is really in a league of its own!
