Drumming on the dark side. Use the fast response Byzance Dark Splashes to punctuate musical tracks with short, highly syncopated bursts when you and your bandmates are recording, playing a live gig, practicing or improvising during a friendly jam session.

Designed for dynamic accents over a wide range of music genres, Meinl Byzance hand-hammered splashes feature a dark, earthy sound with a strong, punchy attack and a fairly short sustain. You’ll enjoy using their sound characteristics to great effect whenever you play.

Byzance Dark Splashes are extremely well made in Meinl’s own Turkish smithy using proven handcrafted techniques that have been passed down from master cymbal maker to apprentice for several generations. The durable B20 bronze alloy design is made to last and helps resist cracking even after repeated use. Splashes are skillfully hammered into shape and retain their raw, untreated appearance that produces an earthy and esoteric sound quality. Because each splash is completely crafted by hand, it really is a work of art with its own unique sound quality and personality.

Rapid fire drummer Jason Bittner of the hardcore metal band Shadows Fall knows a thing or two about cymbals, and he’s just one of the celebrated drum gods who prefer rocking with Meinl Byzance splashes.
