Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve 20" Crash Cymbal

Every cymbal in the Byzance Foundry Reserve series is a beautifully made work of art of the highest calibre. They each showcase the expertise and dedication that are forged into them by Meinl’s master craftsmen, and express their character with dynamic energy. Expertly handcrafted in Turkey and forged from the finest B20 Bronze alloy, these cymbals are bestowed with mixed layers of complex darkness and a sweet, smoky flavour.

The 20” Foundry Reserve Crash is medium in weight and possesses a good dynamic range, so it could quite easily double up as a light ride cymbal. It has a bright and crisp attack which is immediately followed by a dark, luscious wash. An expertly lathed surface is key to its fine balance of wash and attack, and a unique hand-hammered pattern gives it a dark, smokey flavour.  

As a mark of quality, every Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve cymbal comes packaged in a handsome collector’s box containing a typed letter from Reinhold Meinl, a pair of unlacquered cymbal handling gloves, and a set of Meinl Stick and Brush Standard drumsticks.
