Favored by drum virtuoso Benny Greb, the Meinl 18" Byzance Vintage Sand Thin Crash combines a sandblasted finish with the mellow character of B20 bronze to give you a delightfully dark and trashy sound. It's thin weight means that you won't have to worry about this Vintage Sand crash drowning out or muddying up your kit, since it isn't overwhelmingly loud and the sustain is pretty short. If you're like the drummers here at Sweetwater, than you're likely to appreciate this particular cymbal for its nuanced dynamics, which makes it an amazing accent you can comfortably pair with another crash, if you like. But really, we think you'll find the Byzance Vintage Sand Thin Crash fits in well no matter what style of music you play.
