The Meinl 18" Byzance Vintage Sand Medium Crash Cymbal is dark and short to help you emphasize hits on low toms or add some metallic edge to a moody groove. It has a surprising amount of bright trash in the initial attack, making way for a mid-ranged decay.
The notable matte-like finish on this cymbal is a result of being sandblasted, adding thousands of tiny pits and dents to the surface that combine to create a complex wash of overtones.
