Meinl Byzance Vintage Trash 18" Crash Cymbal - Sandblasted Finish

The Meinl Byzance Vintage 18” Trash Crash cymbal has a deliciously dark flavour and a dry, low-pitched, laid-back sound. Although dark and dry, it is also graced with a fine degree of clarity and poised attack.

This crash has a lightweight build and a sandblasted finish, enabling it to open up to its fullest tonal capacity without having to be played at ridiculously high volumes, and has the perfect amount of brightness and energy to give it a positive, confident presence. Its short sustain and explosive, low volume attack makes it a perfect crash for accents and punctuations. It will make a statement without being intrusive or overpowering.

The mellow B20 bronze alloy has been sandblasted, a process that lightly strips the surface area of the cymbal of its lustre and leaves a matt, fine-textured finish. The process removes some of the tension from the cymbal which gives it more flexibility, enabling it to open up to its maximum tonal capacity at lower volumes. This makes sandblasted cymbals a great choice for quieter environments.
