Meinl Byzance Extra Dry 20” Thin Crash Cymbal

The Byzance Extra Dry 20” Thin Crash is a lightweight cymbal with a dry, trashy sound and a low-pitched timbre. It attacks with clarity and decays with a short, sharp falloff. This cymbal has a fundamentally earthy swell but with an aggressive jab that will give your setup a little boost of aggression.

The Byzance cymbal range is lathed and hammered exclusively in Turkey by the hands of Meinl’s master cymbal smiths. These artisan craftsmen imbue each cymbal with the range’s signature voice and deep, dark character. The Extra Dry series has a distinctly raw character thanks to an unlathed finish that boosts the dry, smokey overtones and looks like a burnt honeycomb - almost good enough to eat.

The Extra Dry 20” thin Crash responds beautifully when played with sensitivity, opening up and singing in a sweet, dry and clear voice, and its raspy warm crashes tend to contrast very well with a lot of different cymbal setups.

We think this cymbal would be a great addition to any kit. Raw, energetic richness with a dry attack.
