Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
MEINL’s 18-inch Byzance Brilliant Polyphonic Crash combines a thin edge, lathed playing surface, and large raw bell in one hand-hammered B20 bronze design. The edge responds quickly, while the lathed body maintains stick definition. Move to the raw bell when the part needs immediate presence. Its fully lathed, buffed brilliant finish smooths sharper highs, giving the cymbal a more balanced wash as you work through changing dynamics.
Strong match
Who this is for
