It carries forward the taste for dark and complex tones while adding a very contemporary visual and sonic signature thanks to its \"dual\" finish: a raw, artisanal center and a smoother, shinier edge. The result is a cymbal with a bold character, designed to stand out in a modern kit, both on stage and in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Byzance Dual cymbals are primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a cymbal with character, capable of adding an instantly recognizable color to their playing. They are particularly suited to styles that require definition and personality: \u003cstrong\u003emodern rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emetal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003elive hip-hop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eneo-soul\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efusion\u003c\/strong\u003e, and alternative music. Their \"dirty\" grain and sharp attack help occupy space in a dense mix while maintaining a musicality that is appreciated for dynamics and subtlety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe uniqueness of the Byzance Dual lies in its balance between craftsmanship and sonic intention. The \u003cstrong\u003eraw center\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003ehand-hammered\u003c\/strong\u003e appearance promotes a darker, more textured response, while the \u003cstrong\u003epolished edge\u003c\/strong\u003e adds presence, openness, and better clarity in projection. This combination results in a cymbal that is fast, complex, and effective, with a very \"alive\" feel under the stick. Made in Turkey from \u003cstrong\u003eB20 bronze\u003c\/strong\u003e and handcrafted, it emphasizes harmonic richness and a non-standardized personality, appreciated by drummers seeking authentic sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eB20 bronze\u003c\/strong\u003e is known for its depth and harmonic complexity: it generally delivers a rich spectrum with present lows, textured mids, and controlled highs. On a \"dry\" profile cymbal, this richness translates into a more \u003cstrong\u003eearthy\u003c\/strong\u003e sound, less smooth, with a tactile sensation and a very organic character. The handcrafting enhances this impression: the cymbal reacts with very expressive musicality, revealing different nuances depending on playing intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dual finish directly influences the response: the \u003cstrong\u003eraw center\u003c\/strong\u003e favors a more \"trash,\" grainy sound, often with a more controlled decay and a texture that stands out easily in a mix. The \u003cstrong\u003epolished edge\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to a more pronounced projection and a more explosive openness, ideal for accentuating hits and delivering impact. This results in a cymbal that can sound both dark and punchy, balancing complexity and effectiveness, perfect for driving grooves as well as more aggressive attacks.\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:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRange\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eByzance Dual\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCenter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eraw with hand-hammered look\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ederived from the Byzance Extra Dry universe\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003epolished with glossy finish\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eB20 bronze\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003etrash and earthy\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ehandcrafted\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProjection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eexplosive\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:5;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eTurkey\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360081662227,"sku":"329110","price":539.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/31e27ecf4fcea07c71525a04245a1af3a055fbaf_MEINL_B20DUCH_5147fd69-665d-4012-be90-e67ab5718d1a.jpg?v=1789390989","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-china-byzance-20-dual-b20duch-329110","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
