Goin Big with Meinl 20

I was excited to finally get this cymbal in the mail. I watched a bunch of videos and read reviews but my first time playing the 20" Byzance crash was when it came in the mail! At first thought I was a little concerned because it was definitely a darker china esque type sound. However after playing a bit on it and hitting it along with my other crash (18" zildjian a custom brilliant) I was in love. This cymbal cuts through the mix and has a nice long sustain. I can really hit this cymbal and not worry too much. But just to be on the safe side I picked up the warranty ;-) way to go Meinl!

This crash is amazing. I purchased the 20" and will be getting the 21" ASAP. Diverse is definitely the best way to describe it. I would use the crash for any genre. Fantastic cymbal - worth the $$

I have the Meinl Byzance Medium Crash Traditional 20 inch and it is worth the money. I use it in a worship band and for hardcore screamo. It is all around incredible and diverse. It really breaks through the mix.

I bought the twenty inch for worship band and it is great. It has a long sustain and the bell is awesome. It is diverse because it has the traditional sound, but does not sound to dry or dull. If you want something that breaks through the mix this is a great cymbal for you.
