MEINLByzance Splash Traditional Cymbal 10 in.
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-inch B20 bronze splash from Meinl's Byzance line — a short, bright accent cymbal for drummers who want a quick punctuation voice.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Quick accents and fills where a crash would ring too long
- Small kits needing a voice above the hi-hats
- Studio work where short decay keeps the mix clean
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers needing a main crash — 10 inches is too small
- Loud rock and metal stages where it gets buried
- Anyone wanting a wash or sustained ride voice
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Splash cymbal
Fast attack, very short decay. Designed to punctuate a phrase, not to sustain under it.
Detail 03
Byzance line
Meinl's hand-hammered B20 series. Darker and more complex than their sheet-bronze budget lines.
Detail 04
Traditional finish
Lathed and polished. Brighter and more cutting than the raw or dark finishes in the same line.
Detail 05
Sold as a single cymbal
One splash, not a pair or pack. Budget separately if you want more than one accent.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No mount, arm, felts or wingnut included — you need a cymbal stand or clamp
- 02Splashes crack easiest of all cymbals; strike the edge at an angle, never straight down
- 03A single 10-inch splash goes on a boom arm or a stacker above an existing stand
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as my only crash?
No. At 10 inches it decays too fast and lacks the body to answer a backbeat. Treat it as an accent alongside a proper crash.
02What stand do I need?
Any cymbal stand or a boom/clamp accessory arm. Nothing is included, so factor in the stand plus felts and a sleeve.
03How is Byzance different from Meinl's cheaper cymbals?
Byzance is B20 bronze and hand-hammered, which gives a darker, more complex character than the stamped sheet-bronze lines.
04Is 10 inches too small?
For an accent, no — that is the point. Smaller splashes speak faster and clear out quicker. Larger ones blur into crash territory.
