A completely unique look and sound is found in this instrument. It starts with hand-hammering and undergoes several steps until the holes are added. The result is cymbal that quickly speaks with a trashy, white-noise burst followed by fast, dry decay. Great for accents and stacking.
Crafted with age in mind, 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; now, it includes a wide array of cymbals which have helped to define the Meinl sound. Made in Turkey from B20 bronze and hand-hammered into shape. Sand models feature narrow blade lathing and a sandblasted finish, whereas Vintage Pure models are unlathed and raw.
