{"product_id":"meinl-crash-byzance-16-trash-228120","title":"16\" BYZANCE VINTAGE TRASH CRASH","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrash-type cymbals emerged to meet a simple need: to achieve a more aggressive, noisier, and shorter accent than a traditional crash. The cuts and irregularities on the edge deliberately break the vibration, resulting in that much sought-after blend of grain, noise, and character. Within a range, this type of cymbal generally serves as an additional color, complementing a classic set to enrich the sonic palette with more instantaneous attacks and faster decay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTarget Audience for This Drum\/Instrument\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cymbal is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e drummers and percussionists who want a distinctive sonic signature while maintaining easy control over volume and duration. It is particularly suitable for contexts where \u003cstrong\u003eshort accents\u003c\/strong\u003e and well-defined \u003cstrong\u003erhythmic punctuations\u003c\/strong\u003e are sought: Pop, Fusion, Jazz, Funk, RNB, Reggae, Studio, World, and Electro. Whether in an acoustic ensemble or an amplified setup, it adds a dirtier, more expressive texture without overloading the arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main feature lies in the \u003cstrong\u003edifferent sizes and shapes of the edges\u003c\/strong\u003e : these cuts alter the way the cymbal vibrates by introducing turbulence and micro-breaks in the wave. The result is a \u003cstrong\u003etrash and noisy\u003c\/strong\u003e sound with a quick response and a shorter decay than a standard crash. Its \u003cstrong\u003elow pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edark timbre\u003c\/strong\u003e favor thick, textured accents, while the \u003cstrong\u003esandblasted finish\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances the dry feel and limits excessive brightness, useful for maintaining a clean space in the spectrum, especially in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its \u003cstrong\u003eB20 alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e, this cymbal offers natural harmonic complexity, with a richer background and a more organic color than simpler alloys. Combined with a \u003cstrong\u003ethin weight\u003c\/strong\u003e, this provides immediate vibration: the cymbal \"speaks\" quickly, responds easily to nuances, and allows for \u003cstrong\u003efast accents\u003c\/strong\u003e without forcing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts sound profile is designed to remain controllable: \u003cstrong\u003edark timbre\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003evintage and dry character\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emedium to low volume\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eshort sustain\u003c\/strong\u003e. The cuts contribute to a noisier, grainier effect that pairs very well with ghost notes, syncopated patterns, and modern arrangements. In Electro or World contexts, it brings a \"lo-fi\" and expressive texture; in Pop, Funk, or Fusion, it serves as a clear punctuation that does not mask vocals or harmonic instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTimbre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003edark\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSustain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eshort\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003evintage, dry\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ethin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003elow\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esandblasted\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003emedium to low\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eB20\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54356642038035,"sku":"228120","price":365.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/e50c5f724ac9299e57b72c1a7f11f662874a0eea_MEINL_B16TRC.jpg?v=1789336104","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-16-byzance-vintage-trash-crash-228120","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
