Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Meinl Byzance series has established itself as a reference for drummers seeking cymbals with an organic, expressive, and distinctive sound, thanks to artisan craftsmanship and a traditional alloy. Within this family, the Extra Dry variant stands out for its sonic philosophy: less brilliance, more substance, and a natural control of harmonics. The Byzance Extra Dry 18-Inch Trash Crash thus holds a special place for musicians wanting an accent crash with a very musical "effect" side, without falling into an overly intrusive sound.
Who This Cymbal Is For
This 18-Inch Trash Crash is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers who want to enrich their kit with a cymbal full of character, capable of marking a groove from the first hit. It excels in contexts where a present but controlled cymbal is sought: modern jazz, funk, rock, alternative music, current pop, studio, and live settings. Its dry response also makes it very interesting for drummers working at moderate volumes or those who like to place sharp accents without excessive sustain.
