Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Dual Trash 16” Crash Cymbal - Multi-surface Finish

Meinl’s Byzance Extra Dry cymbals already possess an esoteric charisma and a distinct, unique voice - but Meinl has somehow managed to squeeze even more headroom out of their intricate sound. These Extra Dry cymbals possess the brand's signature dark, dry timbre but now feature a dual-finished surface that adds a bright shimmer to their attack. The Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Dual Trash 16” Crash Cymbal pushes this high-contrast sound to even further extremes by adding 8 drilled holes to its centre ring, enabling it to play faster and brighter.

The finish on this Trash Crash cymbal is divided into two sonically different - yet expertly-balanced - rings. The centre ring features a raw finish with a hand-hammered peen pattern to achieve its low, dusky timbre, while the outer ring is lathed and polished to a high-sheen finish and adds a vibrant energy to the mix. The large holes in the centre reduce the cymbals mass considerably, making it lighter and much more responsive. This cymbal offers a unique and refreshingly trashy sound that is sure to broaden the sonic scope of your setup and provide you with a new expressive way to add emphasis to your attack. 

Devilishly dark with a bright, explosive attack and decay, this 16" Byzance Dual Trash Crash Cymbal is perfect accenting without being overwhelming.
