Critic Reviews

Meinl Byzance Cymbals (Traditional, Dark and Extra Dry ranges) review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Meinl's Byzance Extra Dry Ride cymbal brings a visually stunning aesthetic paired with colorful tones, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship. However, the hefty price tag may deter potential buyers, especially given the current exchange rate. While the cymbal offers a powerful stick sound and versatility across genres, it requires careful handling due to its thin profile. Overall, it stands out for its unique sound characteristics but may not justify its cost for all drummers, leaving some to question the value compared to alternatives.
