The Byzance Series from Meinl belongs, without question, among the most popular cymbal sets of all time. This is due to the high quality of the Byzance cymbals, but it is also down to the gigantic selection of different cymbal models in every imaginable style.

The Byzance cymbals are made following old craftsmanship traditions in Turkey, where they receive their shape by hand hammering. These premium metal discs made from B20 Bronze then receive one of 6 different finishes through modern technology at home in Gutenstetten. With this combination of tradition and high-tech, the Byzance cymbals have secured their place among the best in any style.
The Byzance Traditional cymbals produce, with the hammered and lathed surface, a warm and dark sound. Thinner models produce dark shimmering, while heavier models produce a more focused and powerful sound.
HiHat: balanced, fine sound with precise stick definition and large dynamic spectrum
Crashes: very low ground tones, extremely fast and dynamic response
Ride: very harmonic, balanced sound with warm over tones and clear ping
