The Meinl Byzance Dark 20? is a completely hand-hammered and unlathed crash cymbal with a raw vintage visual style. The thin depth and unlathed surface make for a natural and earthy tone with dark complexities and cutting metallic stick definition. The washiness doesnt open immediately but when it does the projection is loud and intensely dark with a gritty vintage sound that fades out quickly. The Meinl Byzance Dark 20 Crash works great in contrast with brighter sounding cymbals or with a dark vintage kit and suits a wide range of musical styles.
