Meinl Cymbals B12EDS Byzance 12-Inch Extra Dry Splash Cymbal (VIDEO) HAND HAMMERED IN TURKEY FROM B20 BRONZE ALLOY: The dry, yet filling sound of the Byzance 12 Extra Dry Splash is rooted in the age-old techniques of creating a hammered Turkish cymbal. With an unrivaled vintage sound and look, the musicality of Byzance Extra Dry splashes is nothing short of "must have". PUNCTUATE YOUR GROOVES WITH LIGHTNING FAST RESPONSE: Its heavily hammered and unlathed top surface in combination with its fully lathed underside makes this splash extremely dry with a fast decay. Its thin weight also gives it the classic papery and vintage sounding response. Great for accenting grooves and fills as well as using in a cymbal stack configuration. CRISP HIGHS AND DARK LOWS: The great thing about hand hammered Turkish cymbals is that each one is completely unique, but the overall nature of them is typically earthy and darker. This of course comes into play with the Byzance Extra Dry cymbals. Their precise response is matched with a dark blend of undertones. MODERN VERSATILITY ROOTED IN TRADITION: Byzance Extra Dry cymbals have become an immensely popular choice among top recording and touring artists, as well as clinicians and students. The ability these cymbals have to increase a sense of musicality on the drum kit makes them highly sought after. OFFICIAL TWO YEAR MEINL WARRANTY: All Meinl cymbals carry a two-year manufacturer's warranty when purchased from authorized retailers.
