Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve 18'' AUSSTELLER

Meinl Byzance Traditional Crash 18' - Foundry Reserve

The Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve Collection offers a small selection of cymbals that have been equipped by our specialists over many years of development with a variety of nuances and an exceptionally wide sound spectrum. These individual pieces, made using traditional forging techniques, have a unique surface thanks to their 'one-of-a-kind' hammering. This hammer pattern, together with the twisted top and bottom, creates a clear, dry stick response underpinned by a full, voluminous sound carpet. Due to the very elaborate, traditional handwork, these individual sticks are only available in very small quantities. The powerful hand hammering in combination with the fully turned surface gives the crash cymbal from the Byzance Foundry Reserve Collection its full, dark sound with a quick response and short sustain. Due to the diverse sound nuances in this completely handcrafted cymbal, it can also be used very well as a light ride in a small setup.
