I have owned the 16-inch version of this cymbal for three and a half years and I rank it among the best cymbals I’ve ever heard, but his bigger brother is even more amazing. Fast response, short decay, full and warm tone and a sound that matches the dual nature of its finish: dark and shimmering at the same time. It’s very warm, although it has cutting power to make itself heard. Due to this mix, it can fit into very diverse musical styles, and it’s more versatile than its cousin, the Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Thin Crash 18, that I also own. Although its riding capabilities (using the raw area in the centre of the cymbal) are far superior to the 16-inch Dual Crash, I think that its main vocation is to be used as a crash.

Great Cymbal
John Wallace 18.10.2017
When I unwrapped it and gave it a good strike, I was over the moon! Its dark, warm and punchy with great attack but decays quite quickly so its perfect for those accents you want to stand out. Also, it shimmers really well with mallets. Its really versatile! I would highly recommend.

Awesome Crash

Very nice crash cymbal, very dark and trashy but with cut due to the brilliant edges.

Excellent price and the delivery from Thomann was superb. Fully recommend!

Incredibly impressed with this crash!

Honestly, wow. This crash has so much to it. From the bell, to the body, the wash, just the right amount of dryness, and the trashiness! The whole cymbal wakes up when you play the bell, in such a unique way. You can play this cymbal with your sticks in a variety of ways and get such unique responses from it. I'm tempted now to check out the dual ride :)

All time favourite crash!
Blodfjez 12.03.2018
Beautiful in sound and design, this classic size cymbal provides a explosive darkness with a buttery feel to it, super thin, but cuts just enough. Super in sound together with more traditional cymbals, or as part of a dry setup.
