It’s the impressive little cymbal that can (and does!) deliver everything you want in an exceptional splash—great response, outstanding sound qualities, big cutting notes and a fast decay that lingers just long enough to make an impressive statement before it goes away.

Sonically, the Jazz Splash trends deep and dark musically with a papery, washy attack and a wide, smooth spread. The ear- and rhythm-friendly blend of complex sounds, overall darkness and nice spread all come together to form a warm musical mix.

A joint collaboration between German studio and touring drummer Wolfgang Haffner and the talented craftsmen of Meinl, the Byzance Jazz series was developed for the classic sounds that traditional jazz requires. You’ll really enjoy grooving with it during jazz sessions in the studio or during live performances. But even though jazz is designated in the name, this splash cymbal makes a perfect percussive for many other types of music, too, including blues, Latin, pop and alternative. Intensive and pronounced hammering marks result in a harmonic, colorful sound with lots of depth and an extensive range.

The 10" splash cymbal is skillfully handcrafted in Turkey from B20 bronze alloy. Because the cymbal is made by hand, each one has a unique sound characteristic that can be replicated, but never exactly duplicated.
