Brand: Meinl Cymbals

Color: B16EDTC

Features:

• Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze alloy — a thin weight with a scorched, trashy sound, the 16" Extra Dry Thin Crash has a fiery response with a dry feel — its parched character will easily become a highly musical and integral part of your kit
• Raw yet refined — Byzance Extra Dry cymbals appear to be raw, but their design and sound is highly refined through extensive hand hammering — this is one of the most intriguing voices within the Byzance family that attracts many drummers
• Effortless sound — the thin weight of Byzance Extra Dry cymbals in combination with the dry surface puts them in a musical range that is useful in virtually any style — the underside of this cymbal is fully lathed to blend smoothness into its dry feel
• Designed for power, nuance and definition — these cymbals punctuate while adding loads of texture with fine stick definition — at low volumes, they deliver an earthy, mellow sound, and they can reach explosive status when laying into them with intensity
• Modern versatility rooted in tradition — hand hammered into shape in Turkey using cast B20 bronze, Meinl Byzance cymbals are deeply rooted in traditional cymbal crafting methods, yet their old-world background is dialed-in to 21st century needs

Details: The BYZANCE EXTRA DRY THIN CRASH is uniquely light weight with an extremely dry and low pitched sound. Its trashy overtones and soft response, with a fast decay, create an overall “dryness”. MEINL BYZANCE CYMBALS are completely hand hammered into shape and satisfy the highest demands. Every Byzance cymbal is a piece of art and has its own unique sound characteristics which can never be duplicated. EXTRA DRY cymbals have big hammer marks which in combination with the untreated, natural finish enable an extremely dark sound with a short sustain. Dominant lows with an esoteric character.
