Meinl Byzance Traditional 18'' Polyphonic Crash

Starting with hand-hammering and following with hand lathing in Turkey, the word 'traditional' accurately describes their hand forged shape and deeply rooted sound. The Traditional series features our broadest voice for Byzance, with a wide variety of sizes and weights that blend into any musical setting. Made in Turkey from B20 bronze, hand-hammered into shape, narrow blade lathing, and traditional finish.

Expressively dark crashes with thin edges but thicker unlathed bells. Projecting quickly in an explosive blast, and then immediately coming down to a quiet roar and short sustain. The bell offers another sonic voice with penetrating attack and volume when played alone.
