Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Meinl Byzance series follows a tradition of cymbals with a deeply musical character, designed for drummers seeking a true sonic signature rather than a standardized sound. This 10-inch Splash in the Polyphonic version is positioned as a refined effect cymbal, created to multiply accentuation possibilities with instant response and marked harmonic complexity, equally relevant in the studio and on stage.
Who This Cymbal Is For
The Meinl Byzance 10-inch Polyphonic Splash is aimed at intermediate to expert drummers who want to enrich their kit with an expressive and precise effect cymbal. It fits easily into pop, rock, fusion, modern jazz, electro-acoustic music contexts, and even denser environments where every accent must remain clear. Its versatility also allows it to complement a minimalist set by adding a controlled touch of brilliance.
