The Meinl 18" Byzance Extra Dry Dual Crash Cymbal features a major contrast between the brightly polished, large-hammered edge and the raw central area with extensive small hammer marks.
This cymbal creates a low-pitched smash of sound full of complex low overtones that can actually sound a little trashy. It's a sensitive cymbal that grants you the ability to ride on the more articulate raw center if you so choose.
