Description
Building on the Traditional line, Byzance Brilliant cymbals are polished to create a mirror-like finish for a stunning look. The sonic result is a slightly refined sound with a smoother, lower frequency response and added shimmer. The Heavy Hammered models feature extra weight for cut and volume. These cymbals are made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and are hand hammered into shape by skilled Turkish cymbal smiths.
