Meinl B16MC Byzance Medium Crash Traditional Cymbal with traditional, warm sound in an extremely wide dynamic spectrum. Energetic, exploding attack and a louder response. Meinl's Byzance Traditional finish cymbals are handmade in Turkey using the traditional B20 bronze alloy. The profile of the cymbal is hand-hammered into shape. They are also lathed by hand. All this handwork goes into making a true musical instrument. These crash cymbals have a nice dark character with an explosive attack and a long decay. Good for Latin, jazz and rock.
