The 20" Byzance Traditional Polyphonic Ride is the perfect ride cymbal for versatile drummers thanks to its different playing surfaces and wide-ranging sound possibilities. It offers a fast response and a unique, open sound both when crashing the cymbal and when playing ride figures. The extra large bell in raw finish makes the cymbal very versatile with its very clear and dry sound.Their hammered and twisted surface, warm sounds and the choice of different models seem very traditional. Nevertheless, these drum cymbals are the perfect choice when versatility is required. There are rides with a buttery soft feel, but also crashes in different weights that cover a wide range of sounds. Traditional sound and acoustic uniqueness are combined in each of these cymbals.
The Benny Greb Signature 18" Quick Sand Ride is inspired by the iconic jazz and funk sound of the 70s and 80s. It is a small but heavy ride modelled on the symphonic cymbals used as rides in the past, which have developed their popular characteristic sound through "misuse" (frequent repairs). The "sound notch" in combination with the sandblasted surface give the Quick Sand Ride its modified, pre-aged character with remarkable clarity, control and a complex sound image. Hand-hammered in Turkey from B20 bronze.The unusual sandblasted surface gives a soft feel and a distinctive matt finish. Its deep, dark and somewhat dry washy sound is neither too soft nor too loud. With its excellent stick response and short sustain, the Byzance Vintage series allows you to play powerfully and always remain in full control. The sound is suitable for all styles of music that are not in the upper decibel range.
UFO Low Volume Cymbals are cymbals designed for practice purposes. They offer the same feel and response as traditional cymbals - from the bell to the rim. They even have some of the same sound characteristics - only at a greatly reduced volume.These cymbals are great for a practice set or if you want a natural feel with your e-drum.
The Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve Collection offers a small selection of cymbals that have been equipped by our specialists over many years of development with a multitude of nuances and an exceptionally wide sound spectrum. These one-of-a-kind cymbals are crafted using traditional blacksmithing techniques and have a unique surface due to their "one-of-a-kind" hand hammering. This hammering pattern, together with the twisted top and bottom, creates a clear, dry stick response underpinned by a full, voluminous carpet of sound. Due to the very elaborate, traditional handwork, these unique pieces are only available in very small numbers.The warm, nuanced sound of these hihat cymbals offers a very broad frequency spectrum. The harmonised combination of the thin top in conjunction with a slightly thicker bottom cymbal makes this hihat very versatile and gives it a warm, full sound. The sick response is warm, powerful and produces a pleasant wash when the hihat is opened slightly. The well-balanced foot chick rounds off this hihat, which can be used in a variety of musical styles.

The Byzance cymbals represent the classic, traditional line in the Meinl cymbal range. Cymbals made of B20 bronze, which are manufactured entirely by hand, from casting to hammering to turning. Each cymbal is a small work of art, each cymbal is unique with an individual sound. The Byzance cymbals are the perfect all-rounders, suitable for pop, rock and jazz. Each blank is moulded using the traditional single cast method. This means that every single cymbal is made from an individually cast piece.Every Meinl Byzance cymbal is hand-hammered. This elaborate manufacturing process forms the basis for the outstanding sound characteristics of this series. As a new line within the established Byzance series, the new Meinl "Byzance Jazz" cymbals were introduced, which were developed in collaboration with some of Meinl's top artists. These cymbals are characterised by an authentic sound that is not only indispensable in traditional jazz.
The production of this series is based on the recipe of the old Turkishcymbals. These cymbals are hammered and turned. Their sound characteristics are warm, soft and produce a dark sound.

Faster decay and response than normal K Custom Crashes.
Power stands for the loudest, brightest and most assertive cymbals from Istanbul Agop's popular XIST series.Despite their heavy weight, these cymbals offer a very dynamic, open playing feel and are very versatile.
