1/7
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
This 18-inch Byzance Foundry Reserve crash brings a very dark, explosive response that falls away quickly after the attack. Its medium weight supplies a full-bodied sound at the cymbal’s apex, while extensive hand-hammering and a fully lathed surface are part of its design. For drummers keeping a minimal cymbal setup, it can also serve as a light ride, making one position cover crash and ride duties.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Minimal cymbal setups that need one cymbal to cover crash and light-ride duties.
- Parts that call for a dark, explosive crash response with quick decay.
