The Korena take

Meinl’s 18-inch Byzance Traditional Trash Crash pairs a thin, fully lathed cymbal with varied hole sizes for a broad trashy voice that clears out quickly after the hit. Hand-hammering gives the playing feel a soft, buttery character. It can still deliver volume and cut when the arrangement calls for a more forceful crash, making it useful where an accent needs presence without a long lingering decay.
