Meinl 18" Byzance Jazz Extra Thin Crash
The Meinl 18" Byzance Jazz Extra Thin Crash delivers a warm, dark, and naturally vintage-inspired sound with an exceptionally soft playing feel. Its lightweight profile responds immediately at low dynamics, producing a washy attack and full-bodied crash that blends beautifully into acoustic, jazz, funk, studio, and world music settings.
Warm And Natural Vintage Sound
This crash produces a low-pitched, dark voice with complex overtones and a smooth, musical spread. The initial attack is soft and washy rather than sharp, allowing the cymbal to sit naturally within an ensemble without overpowering other instruments.
Fast, Full-Bodied Response
The extra-thin weight opens quickly with minimal effort and blooms into a rich, full-bodied crash. Its responsive construction makes it especially expressive at quieter volumes while still providing enough presence for stronger accents.
Versatile Crash And Light Ride
In addition to its primary role as a crash, the 18" size and complex tonal character allow it to function as a light ride. Played with the tip of the stick, it produces a soft, woody definition surrounded by a warm, controlled wash.
Hand-Hammered B20 Bronze
Made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze, the Byzance Jazz Extra Thin Crash is hand hammered into shape and finished with narrow-blade lathing. This traditional construction gives every cymbal subtle tonal individuality, a buttery response, and the complex character associated with the Byzance Jazz series.
