Crafted to mimic the sound of an aged cymbal, the Vintage voice within Byzance has unique features that simulate the aging process of a cymbal to couple relic sounds with modern appeal. The Vintage line was born from the Sand Ride, a flagship cymbal developed with Meinl Cymbals artist, Benny Greb. Byzance Vintage now includes a wide array of cymbals that have helped to define the Meinl sound. Sand models feature narrow blade lathing and a sandblasted finish, whereas Vintage Pure models are unlathed and raw. These cymbals are made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and hand hammered into shape by skilled Turkish cymbal smiths.
- HAND HAMMERED IN TURKEY: formed by artisans to refine thickness, shape, tone, and feel—each Byzance cymbal is truly one of a kind
- B20 BRONZE ALLOY: composed of 80% copper and 20% tin, this alloy produces a rich, complex sound with a wide dynamic range—perfect for nuanced playing
- SANDBLASTED SURFACE: tones down harsh frequencies and stick attack to give the cymbal a unique soft, mellow touch and pre-aged sound; this finish will age beautifully with a unique patina (NOT recommended to use cymbal cleaner or polish)
- BOLD, EARTHY, AND SMOOTH: extra-deep hammering creates a darker, trashier tone; plus, the extra-thin weight gives this crash broadly expressive texture
- SENSITIVE TO YOUR TOUCH: Byzance Vintage Crashes come to life in any mix with a reactive touch that adapts to all dynamic levels
- SIZE AND TYPE: 20" crash
- MODERN MEETS TRADITION: hand hammered with old-world techniques, designed for today’s demands
