Meinl Byzance Extra Dry 19" Thin Crash Cymbal

The Meinl Byzance Extra Dry 19" Thin Crash Cymbal (B19EDTC) lives up to its name with extremely dry, low-pitched, trashy sounds and short sustain. This 19-inch thin crash cymbal comes to life when played at lower volumes, delivering really dark and earthy tones that cut through with a unique, esoteric character.

Raw, Unlathed Surface

The Extra Dry series features a raw finish from the hand-hammered, unlathed surface. With no lathing applied, the cymbal retains its natural, organic texture and sound. The result is a crash cymbal with a dark timbre, low volume, and short sustain—perfect for drummers who need a controlled, trashy accent that gets out of the way quickly.
