Meinl Byzance Dark 10" Splash Cymbal - Dark Finish

We’ve recognised a trend in unlathed and earth sounding cymbals growing increasingly popular here at Wembley Music Centre, and this Meinl Byzance Dark 10" Splash Cymbal is a perfect example of why. With abraded lathing, maintaining the original appearance and in turn their original, authentic sound, this splash is raw and exhilarating, and compliments a whopper range of genres.

Naturally, this 10” splash has a greater sustain than its 8” counterparts, and we think this works particularly well for a splash. While maintaining the same punchy attack as most splashes, it bridges the gap between splashes and crashes in terms of sustain, though adding on a slightly flanged nature, and with the natural, raw voice of this splash cymbal, it’s no surprise this is a popular cymbal. Though Meinl says that this splash is perfect for pop, fusion, jazz, funk, RnB, reggae, world and electro, we’d like to add to that list metal. The earthy voice is perfect for it. And with the unlathed look, it will sure go perfect with your style.
