Meinl B18POC-B Byzance Polyphonic 18" Crash Cymbal

Discover a truly unique and expressive voice for your drum kit. This 18-inch crash cymbal offers a complex and shimmering character that will inspire your creativity. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail in Turkey from premium B20 bronze alloy, it represents the pinnacle of modern cymbal making. The sound is best described as 'polyphonic', meaning it delivers multiple layers of rich, musical tones that blend together beautifully.

The attack is explosive and immediate, cutting through the mix with a glassy presence, but it's followed by a surprisingly quick and smooth decay. This makes it incredibly versatile – perfect for delivering powerful accents that don't linger too long or for creating lush, washy textures when played with lighter dynamics. The unique combination of a brilliant finish on top and a raw, untreated bottom enhances its sonic complexity, adding a touch of warmth and earthy dryness to its otherwise bright and shimmering voice.

Ideal for the discerning drummer looking to add a distinctive color to their palette, this cymbal excels in a variety of musical settings, from fusion and R&B to pop and studio recording. It's an instrument that responds to every nuance of your playing, offering a dynamic range that is both wide and controllable.

  • Hand-hammered in Turkey from B20 Bronze
  • Complex, multi-layered "polyphonic" sound
  • Explosive attack with a fast, smooth decay
  • Unique brilliant top and raw bottom finish
  • Warm, shimmering character with a touch of dryness
