The Korena take

The 16-inch Byzance Traditional Extra Thin Hammered Crash is a B20 bronze crash with an extra-thin build and extensive hammering. It delivers a warm, rich high-midrange voice with a dark, trashy spread and long sustain. Medium volume keeps it usable across gigs and studio sessions, while the crash opens readily into a shimmering wash of overtones.
