The Korena take

At 19 inches, this MEINL Byzance Traditional Extra Thin Hammered Crash combines B20 bronze with an extra-thin profile, extensive hammering, and lathing. Its high-midrange voice is warm and rich, while the cymbal’s dark, trashy character spreads broadly and sustains for a long time. Medium volume and sustain make it usable in gig and studio settings, with a responsive crash that opens quickly into a wash of overtones.
