The MEINL Byzance Vintage Trash China cymbal combines traditional B20 bronze craftsmanship with a distinctly modern effects-oriented voice. Deep hand hammering and a classic china profile produce a dark, trashy character with fast response, while precision cut-outs reduce sustain and add tonal dryness for explosive accents. A sandblasted finish further softens the attack, contributing earthy warmth and a naturally aged appearance. Raw center hammering, lathed edges and a fully lathed underside work together to create a controlled wash and smooth stick feel, making this MEINL china cymbal a versatile addition for drummers seeking unique textures and expressive effects sounds.
