Meinl Byzance Jazz

Meinl Byzance Jazz

Introduction: 2007*
Background:
Innovation: Cymbals are cast, hand hammered, and lathed in Turkey, then sent to the Meinl facility in Germany to be finished.
Alloy: B20
Quality: Professional
Applications: Live and Studio
Sound: Byzance Jazz offers a deep well of expressive cymbals that draws players in. The hihats have a smooth and subtle response, and the crashes are known for a buttery feel that only develops from their hand-hammered profiles. In addition, many unique and complex ride cymbals have been created within this line to help you find your voice behind the kit.
