MEINL Cymbals Byzance Foundry Reserve Crash - 18" (B18FRC)

The MEINL Byzance Foundry Reserve collection is a limited selection of cymbals that showcases the stunning, sonically rich works of art that our cymbalsmiths create with layers of tonality and nuance; however, that is only half of the beauty, as they are visually striking from the one-of-a-kind hand-hammered marks. The extra hammering creates many deep craters across the surface. When this hammering is coupled with the fully lathed top and bottom, it produces a clear, dry stick-attack note over a lush bed of low undertones – otherwise known as “the roar.”

Extensive hand-hammering and fully lathed surface. Medium weight, full bodied sound with dark and explosive response that decays quickly. Great as a light ride too.
