Meinl Cymbals Byzance 12" Extra Dry Splash — MADE IN TURKEY — Hand Hammered B20 Bronze, 2-YEAR WARRANTY, inch (B12EDS)

HAND HAMMERED IN TURKEY: formed by artisans to refine thickness, shape, tone, and feel—each Byzance cymbal is truly one of a kind. B20 BRONZE ALLOY: composed of 80% copper and 20% tin, this alloy produces a rich, complex sound with a wide dynamic range—perfect for nuanced playing. RAW YET REFINED: Byzance Extra Dry cymbals are dry, fast, and trashy with deep complexity; the extensive hand hammering creates uneven thickness for organic overtones. LESS SUSTAIN AND WASH: the top surface lacks the fine grooves from lathing to shorten and focus the sustain, boosting dry articulation and stick definition. FULLY LATHED UNDERSIDE: opens the sound with a sharp attack and warm lows while giving the cymbal a softer feel under the stick; rides are left completely unlathed for even more definition. SIZE AND TYPE: 12"" splash. MODERN MEETS TRADITION: hand hammered with old-world techniques, designed for today’s demands
