Description

Byzance Brilliant

• The Byzance Brilliant 18” Trash China has a vigorous attack note delivering trashy cut along with shimmering sustain backed by complex tone. Hole cut-outs allow the china to roar to life and decay quickly for faster accents. The result is a classic brilliant cymbal loaded with bite. (1)

Byzance Dual

• The Byzance Dual chinas are already popular for their explosiveness and trashy tonality. By adding holes throughout, the response is much faster and offers more cut. The sustain is also shorter, giving you a cymbal that reacts quickly then gets out of the way so that your other cymbals and sounds on your kit can be heard. (5)

Byzance Traditional

• The Byzance Traditional 18” Trash China delivers a superb trashy tone with a medium spread and an agile feel. Its trashy, explosive attack and dark sound are both powerful and nuanced. Hole cut-outs allow the china to roar to life and decay quickly for faster accents. The result is a classic traditional cymbal loaded with bite. (2)

Classics Custom Brilliant

• A unique china with different sized cut-outs for an enhanced aggressive and trashy sound. The ultimate attack with almost no sustain. Perfect for loud and penetrating accents. (6)

HCS

• Thin brass material and different sized cut-outs, in combination with a china shape, create a loud, cutting cymbal that speaks with boldness and clarity at an outstanding value. (4)

Pure Alloy

• The Pure Alloy Trash China features holes that have been added throughout for a faster attack and quick decay. Additionally, this china has a different tonal response with more highs in the wash meaning this china will cut when needed. Finally, the holes will prevent airlock when used to stack with other cymbals. (7)

Pure Alloy Custom

• The 18” Meinl Pure Alloy Custom Trash China features holes throughout and speaks quickly, accurately and without much effort. Working at all levels from soft accents to blistering smashes, the hole cut-outs give this china an authentic and refined voice with a short sustain. (3)
