Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Common to all Byzance Vintage cymbals is the sandblasted finish which Meinl pioneered over a decade ago on its (since discontinued) Custom Shop Series. Sandblasting gives the cymbals a semi-matt lustre not unlike the decades-induced patina found on roadworn cymbals, minus the usual accompanying impregnations of sweat, beer, tobacco smoke and who knows what else.

The 20" Vintage Trash crash joins two 16" and 18" versions (reviewed in Rhythm last year). Like the existing Trash crashes, the new cymbal is super thin and features a total of eight round and cigar-shaped cut-outs to crank up the trashiness and rein in the decay."
