Dark and Dry Crash Sound – MEINL 18″ Byzance Foundry Reserve Crash Cymbal
The MEINL 18″ Byzance Foundry Reserve Crash Cymbal produces a dark, controlled and dry tone. It responds quickly and delivers a focused crash that does not overpower the mix. As a result, it works well in expressive and detailed playing.
Highly Expressive and Complex Tone
This crash cymbal offers rich complexity with controlled overtones. In addition, it responds dynamically to playing intensity. Therefore, it supports both subtle accents and stronger crashes with musical balance.
Fast Response with Controlled Decay
