 LIMITED collection of our finest hand-made Turkish cymbals,
Byzance Foundry Reserve showcases the stunning, sonically
rich works of art our cymbalsmiths create. Tonality and nuance are
added with extra hand-hammering, resulting in deep craters that
riddle the surfaces. Coupled with wide blade lathing, these cymbals
produce a clear, pronounced stick-attack note over a lush bed
of even undertones.

Made in Turkey from B20 bronze, hand-hammered into shape,

wide blade lathing, and traditional finish.

Each Byzance Foundry Reserve comes with a pair of Meinl Stick & Brush
Standard 5A Drumsticks, a pair of 100% cotton handling gloves, a signed certificate
of authenticity, and a personal letter from Mr. Reinhold Meinl.

XPANDING from the Byzance Extra Dry line, Dual

cymbals have quickly risen in popularity and
become instantly recognizable for their unique look
and sound. To start, the center is raw, bearing hand-
hammered markings, while the edge is lathed and
buffed to a brilliant finish. The sound is similar to the
look: trashy, earthy and low at first, ending with a
flash of explosive brilliance.

Made in Turkey from B20 bronze, hand-hammered into

shape, raw finish in center, and narrow blade lathing
with brilliant finish on edges only.
 What is a Multi-Trash cymbal? This versatile cymbal makes
an excellent stand-alone trash crash or extra large splash
and easily stacks with another cymbal providing even more
options. It can replace the top or bottom hihat cymbal for a
trash hat effect or be combined with the top hihat cymbal
for a crunchy tri-hat effect.

LTHOUGH they appear to be raw, Byzance Extra Dry

cymbals are extremely refined. Designed to be dry,
fast, trashy, and low, this is one of the most intriguing
voices within Byzance that attracts many drummers.
The crashes, splashes, and china cymbals all explode
and unleash a gritty texture from within, while the
hihats and rides are crisp in definition.

Made in Turkey from B20 bronze, hand-hammered

into shape, and raw finish. The bottom side of hihats,
crashes, splashes and chinas are lathed, but the rides
are left unlathed except for the Transition Ride which is
lathed and polished on the bottom to a brilliant finish.

RAFTED with age in mind, the Vintage voice within

Byzance has unique features that simulate the aging
process of a cymbal to couple relic sounds with modern
appeal. The Vintage line was born from the Sand Ride,
a flagship cymbal developed with Meinl Cymbals artist,
Benny Greb; now, it includes a wide array of cymbals
which have helped to define the Meinl sound.

Made in Turkey from B20 bronze and hand-hammered

into shape. Sand models feature narrow blade lathing
and a sandblasted finish, whereas Vintage Pure models
are unlathed and raw.

 THE ARTIST CONCEPT MODELS
ORKING closely with some of the most creative drummers on the planet, Artist Concept Models were born
from collaborations with our Meinl Cymbals artists to develop new and unique sounds. Each process involved
combining different cymbals to create effect stacks or auxiliary hihats which best met that artist's vision. In some
cases, multiple series or alloys were used to find the perfect result. Read on to find out what the artists themselves
have to say about their individual concept model.

BENNY GREB CRASHER HATS

"I wanted something that was super short, dry, clear and high frequency but still very
dynamic that could fulfill a whipsering shaker-like role in the music. Tough to get! So we had to
create something completely unique. Four separate cymbals sandwiched together. They have
different shoulders so they collapse against each other at every hit. The result is incredible.
A very unique sound that blends beautifully with ghost notes and other subdivisions, but can
also make a very percussive statement. They are part of my sound. I absolutely love them!"

8"/8" AC-CRASHER [With X-Hat Auxiliary Hihat Arm]

MATT GARSTK A FAT STACK

"This stack cuts through the mix with a crunchy bite. With no ring the sustain is dry and
pleasing to the ear. Its trashy quality is maintained through a wide variety of tensions,
with my personal favorite being a light tension that gives its Fat Stack namesake."

18"/16" AC-FAT

ANIK A NILLES DEEP HATS

"What I really like about my Deep Hats is that they have so many musical applications.
They fill the sonic gap between my main hihats, and my crashes. I play them half open as a
time keeper, very similar to crash-riding, however the Deep Hats sound softer and more
articulated. That is something I prefer."

18"/18" AC-DEEP [With X-Hat Auxiliary Hihat Arm]

 THOMAS L ANG SUPER STACK
"Its fierceness cuts through any wall of sound and allows you to slice through even the most
crowded soundscape. When played softly at the edge, it produces a wide and washy sizzle,
perfect for accents and punctuations at a more moderate volume. When played with the stick
tip at the shoulder, its short and piercing sound is reminiscent of a trashy hihat.
The Super Stack is super loud, super fast, and super short. It allows the drummer to override
and supersede even the most dense frequency chaos and make a clear and consice percussive
statement in every musical situation. This is the most versatile stack combination you'll find."

18"/18" AC-SUPER

MATT HALPERN DOUBLE DOWN STACK

"To me they are the culmination of the best sounds I've been able to produce and utilize in
both live and studio settings. You can configure the stack so it cuts through the loudest of
music in the loudest of venues, or you can change it up and use it in the most dynamic of
musical situations."

17"/18" AC-DOUBLEDOWN

LUKE HOLL AND BULLET STACK

"Quick as a bullet, hurts like one too. Perfect for when you need to cut and make your point.
What I love about the Bullet Stack is that no matter how quickly you need it to be present and
then disappear, it always delivers."

Classic Custom Dark cymbals are like nothing you

D A RK SE RIE S Classics Custom is met with a shadowy and intense wash

Made in Germany from B10 bronze alloy, lathe formed

Why do trash crashes have holes?

By removing material from a cymbal,
sound waves travel quickly and escape
from the cymbal, creating the fast decay
these cymbals are known for. The size,
shape, and placement of the holes
will also affect how trashy or dark
the end result will sound.

 ADE for drummers who need a tough cymbal that
will endure a punishing set night after night
while delivering plenty of volume and cut. Exactly
E X T RE ME ME TA L SE RIE S as their name suggests, they are an extreme version
of Classics Custom. They have the same brightness,
clarity, and shimmer, but with a double-shot of punch
and volume for more power and precision to climb
above the roar of distortion-charged amps.

Made in Germany from B10 bronze alloy, lathe formed

profile, mirror smooth surface, and brilliant finish.
 Ever wonder why these cymbals are called 'Extreme Metal'? It's due to the
extreme nature of volume and clarity produced by their heavier weights across
all models in addition to specific features, like the extra-large megabells on
ride cymbals. An often overlooked feature is the additional deep hammering on
each cymbal. When we developed this line, we did not want to just create louder
cymbals. Instead, our goal was to create louder cymbals that were still musical.
By adding the extra hammer blows, we were able to darken the tonality enough
to counteract the heavier weight's increased brightness. The result is a line of
full-sounding cymbals with power, volume, and clarity.

DRUMBALS
Johnny Rabb's signature drumbals

What is a drumbal? A simple tool created from a cymbal. When applied to an acoustic
snare drum, it transforms the sound into that of an electronic sample, drum machine
snare, or industrial clap. It features a handle in place of the bell hole, and a soundwave
edge to prevent airlock. Need to see it to believe it?
