The Meinl Byzance Vintage 22" Trash China is suited to drummers seeking dry, explosive accents with controlled sustain. Crafted from B20 bronze and shaped with deep hand hammering, it produces a dark, trashy voice with a quick response that sits comfortably in a mix. The sandblasted finish helps soften the initial attack, giving the cymbal an earthy character and naturally aged feel. Precision cut-outs further dry the sound, reducing sustain while opening up fast, expressive accents for punchy crashes and effects.

Raw hammering around the centre, combined with lathed edges and a fully lathed underside, balances the cymbal's sharp attack with a controlled wash and smooth stick feel. Its thin weight, low volume, and medium-short sustain make it well suited to studio work, as well as rock, funk, fusion, jazz, pop, gospel, R&B, and other styles where a darker, more controlled china sound is needed.
