Ultra light and amazingly thin with an extremely dry and low-pitched vibe, Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Thin Crash Cymbals are a good choice for lighter and softer playing styles such as jazz and fusion. And if you need to cut through guitars and keyboards in louder volume situations, these thin crashes can handle that kind of treatment, too. Trashy overtones dissipate rapidly and the soft response generates a fast decay that creates an overall dryness.
Extra Dry thin crashes are handcrafted one at a time in Turkey by craftsmen who really do put the needs and wants of the drummer first. Not only does this handcrafting technique ensure quality from start to finish, it also gives each cymbal it's own unique sound personality. So no two are ever quite the same. They also have a raw, unfinished look on top and traditional lathing on the bottom to sharpen the tone. Big hammer marks dimple the top to enhance the darker, jazzier sound and the aged appearance.
Extra Dry Thin Crashes are a must-have for any drummer wanting to add extra musicality and some higher overtones to their repertoire.
