The MEINL Byzance series crashes are available in three different weights: thin, medium thin, and medium. Thin crashes have a fairly dark sound. They respond very quickly and have a short sustain. They are ideal for lighter and softer playing styles like Jazz and Fusion. Medium thin crashes show more richness and volume in their sound. They are ideal for Jazz, Fusion and Pop while offering a more cutting sound. Medium crashes reveal a full and rich sound with the ability to cut through a louder mix. They can be used in Jazz, Pop and Rock Music because of their wide frequency spectrum.
