MEINL Byzance cymbals are completely hand hammered into shape and satisfy the highest demands. Every Byzance cymbal is a piece of art and has its own unique sound characteristics which can never be duplicated.

Extra Dry cymbals have big, deep hammer marks which in combination with the untreated, natural finish enable an extremely dark sound with a short sustain. Dominant lows with an esoteric character.
Unique light weight crash with an extremely dry and low pitched sound. Trashy overtones, soft response with a fast decay creating an overall “dryness”.
