This Meinl Byzance extra dry splash cymbal produces an especially crisp sound that has a wide spectrum ranging from low to high frequencies. It is a very musical splash with an unusual appearance. Extra Dry cymbals have big hammer marks which—in combination with the untreated, natural finish—enable an extremely dark sound with a short sustain. They exhibit dominant lows with an esoteric character. This Meinl Byzance splash cymbal is completely hand-hammered into shape and satisfies the highest demands of its users. Every Byzance cymbal is a piece of art and has its own unique sound characteristics which can never be duplicated.
