It is an 18-inch cymbal built in an ultra-thin weight.

Independent shopping perspective
Meinl’s 18-inch Byzance Dual Trash Crash is an ultra-thin crash/effects cymbal with a hand-hammered, unlathed 6-inch center, a brilliant lathed outer edge, and cut-outs in its bronze body. The construction creates a fast attack that drops away quickly. Strike the raw center for a more mid-dark, trashy character, or work the outer section for brighter shimmer. It suits drummers and percussionists looking for an effects voice with contrasting playing areas.
