These hand-hammered B20 bronze cymbals feature a thicker raw bell center for incredible percussive focus and versatile playability. You'll experience an impactful sound suitable for a wide range of musical styles, from rock to reggae and fusion, providing expressive accents for your drumming.

Who is this cymbal pack designed for?

Whether you play jazz, rock, funk, or fusion, the Byzance Traditional Polyphonic crashes offer the nuanced articulation and dynamic range needed for studio recording or live performance. They cater to those who appreciate handcrafted quality and a rich, complex sonic palette.

What does "Matched Crash Pack" mean?

A "Matched Crash Pack" means that Meinl's cymbal specialists have hand-selected these 18-inch and 20-inch crashes to ensure optimal sonic compatibility. This careful pairing guarantees that the cymbals complement each other perfectly in pitch, tone, and sustain, providing a cohesive and balanced sound across your drum kit. It takes the guesswork out of finding perfectly matched cymbals.

What are the advantages of having 18-inch and 20-inch crash cymbals?

The combination of 18-inch and 20-inch crash cymbals offers excellent versatility. The 18-inch crash typically provides a quicker, brighter, and more immediate accent, while the 20-inch delivers a fuller, darker, and longer-sustaining wash. This pairing allows drummers to achieve a broad spectrum of dynamic and tonal expressions, from subtle accents to powerful, cutting crashes, enhancing their overall sound.

Meinl Byzance cymbals are crafted from premium B20 bronze alloy and undergo extensive hand-hammering, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity. This meticulous manufacturing process results in cymbals that can withstand the rigors of regular playing, maintaining their rich sound and structural integrity over time.
