Meinl Cymbals Byzance 20" Traditional Extra Thin Crash — Made in Turkey — Hand Hammered B20 Bronze, 2-Year Warranty, (B20ETHC)

The box was enormous compared product, which wasn’t protected inside.. so very expensive product flys around freely with no protection.Lame , lazy , unfortunate. Thankfully the product is ok and I don’t have to do this again.

This cymbal is explosive, nuanced, and most importantly, beautiful. I've owned a few cymbals at this price point by Meinl and they surpass my expectations every time (21" Transition Ride, 20" Sand Ride, 14" Sand Hihats). I can honestly say that this cymbal is master craftsmanship. The cymbal is wonderfully dark and as smooth as butter. Both friends with and without musical experience are shocked when they hear this cymbal. If you're on the fence for whatever reason, just do it. I could not be happier.

Thunder butter is an absolute dream

This cymbal has such a dark, unique sound...I love it. Tons of character, perfect amount of wash. Great cymbal, many uses.

OK, I'm mostly a Z guy but I saw this one as I was kicking tires looking for inspiration and I've never heard another cymbal like it, it is outrageously good.It has a massive explosive song-ending crash but I have also come to adore it in band work with medium mallets as a suspended cymbal that has an oriental tone almost like a light tam tam.It is really thin and I would be concerned about longevity as an everyday crash, but that's just opinion, and I wouldn't use it for that anyway, I like my A custom fast 16, 17 and 18s for that. But this thing is music in itself, one of my treasured possessions now.

It arrived flipped inside out. After fixing that, its absolutely wonderful.
