Cymbal:16" Vintage Crash

Its unusual sandblasted surface gives it a soft feel and a distinct matte finish. Its low, dark and somewhat dry washy sound isn't too soft or too loud. With its great stick definition and short sustain, you can dig into Byzance Vintage for total control at all times. It's a sound that fits into any music that isn't in the upper decibel levels.
