Byzance brilliant cymbals are hand hammered into shape by Meinl cymbal artisans in turkey using B20 bronze alloy. Brilliant cymbals are polished up to six times to high gloss finish. These cymbals captivate with their reflective surfaces and dark, rich sound from the B20 bronze alloy. The 22-inch heavy hammered crash has an intense, explosive sound with an aggressive attack. The heavy hand hammering gives the cymbal a dark character.
