Meinl Cymbals Byzance Vintage Matt Garstka Signature 20" China

Its unusual sandblasted surface gives it a soft feel and a distinct matte finish. Its low, dark and somewhat dry washy sound isn’t too soft or loud. With its great stick definition and short sustain, you can dig into Byzance vintage for total control at all times. It’s a sound that fits into any music that isn’t in the upper decibel levels. If you're looking for a China that has dry, trashy, cutting, and "chaw" Qualities in a nice balance, This is the China for you; hence the name "Equilibrium." it has a touch of dryness, is mildly trashy, isn't overbearingly cutting, and comes with plenty of “chaw!" This China works in large capacity venues and in small clubs." - matt garstka.
