Meinl Cymbals Cymbal, 18" Dark China (B18DACH)

Meinl Cymbals Cymbal, 18" Dark China (B18DACH)

• Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze alloy — with volume and power at the forefront, the Byzance 18" Dark China heaves out a brooding roar — its dark attack is blended with a low frequency, trashy tone that can easily lift any piece of music
• Unlathed surfaces — the first thing you will notice about these cymbals are the unlathed surfaces — by not filing these cymbals down, so to speak, they are left with a bold and definitive dark attack with a mellow sustain that gets out of your way
• Explosive power with nuanced tone — when power is met with a carefully blended dark tonal range through extensive hand hammering, your cymbal playing can go virtually anywhere — Byzance Dark cymbals have a chameleon-like ability to weave into any style
• A unique line in the Byzance family of cymbals — the degree of bold darkness these cymbals provide, along with their smooth and mellow sustain, puts them in a unique sweet spot between our Traditional and Extra Dry Byzance series of cymbals
• Modern versatility rooted in tradition — hand hammered into shape in Turkey using cast B20 bronze, Meinl Byzance cymbals are deeply rooted in traditional cymbal crafting methods, yet their old-world background is dialed-in to 21st century needs
