Meinl 20inch Byzance Extra Dry Dual CrashRide

The Meinl 20" Byzance Extra Dry Dual Crash–Ride brings together the best of both worlds with its innovative dual playing zones that seamlessly transition between riding and crashing applications. This remarkable cymbal showcases a stunning contrast between its extra dry character and brilliant finish, achieved through Meinl's unique combination of hammering and lathing techniques that create its distinctive sonic signature.

Built from premium B20 bronze with a thin weight profile, this versatile cymbal produces a mid–dark timbre with low–mid pitch characteristics that sit perfectly in the mix. The complex, full–bodied sound maintains musical sensitivity while offering smooth, warm, and washy tones that complement a wide range of musical styles including Gospel, Funk, Fusion, Jazz, Pop, R&B, and Studio work.

The cymbal's short sustain and medium to low volume make it ideal for controlled playing environments, while its ability to open up easily provides trashy accent possibilities when needed. The raw, brilliant, and traditional finish options, combined with narrow blade lathing, contribute to its sophisticated appearance and refined sonic character that professional drummers demand.
