Meinl Byzance Traditional are the most popular cymbals in the Byzance range, used by many world class drummers including Benny Greb and Matt Halpern.
Meinl Byzance Brilliant
The Meinl Byzance Brilliant series takes the Traditional Byzance and darkens the sound. The darker sound is created by a finishing process that limits the high overtones and buffs the cymbal giving it its brilliant look.
Meinl Byzance Dark

Meinl Byzance Extra Dry
Living up to their name, Meinl Byzance Extra Dry cymbals are extremely dry, with low-pitched, trashy sounds with short sustain.
Meinl Byzance Dual
Originally part of the Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Range but now expanded to be a range of their own. Meinl Byzance Dual cymbals offer a bit of both worlds with an extra dry centre and brilliant, narrow lathed edge.
