Meinl Cymbals Mike Johnston Byzance Cymbal Box Set

The Meinl Mike Johnston cymbal box set is a collection of Byzance models that Mike Johnston has carefully selected for his standard setup when conducting lessons and performing. The set includes a 14" Byzance extra dry medium Hi Hats, a 20" Byzance extra thin hammered crash, a 21" Byzance Mike Johnston signature transition ride, and a free 18" Byzance extra dry thin Crash.

These cymbals are designed to deliver a musical blend of dark and dry attack with a short, trashy wash. The 14" Extra dry Hi Hats offer a full-bodied and distinctive chick sound, while the 20" Extra thin hammered crash serves as both a big crash and a light ride. The centerpiece of the setup is the Mike Johnston signature transition ride cymbal, which is engineered to provide the perfect transition from articulate sticking to wide open crashing and back, all the while maintaining a high level of musicality.

The free 18" Byzance extra dry thin Crash is a standout feature of this set, as it allows players to add a contrasting crash sound that works well as an accent cymbal and enables them to achieve a trashy riding effect. The hand-hammered and lathed surfaces of these Meinl Byzance cymbals contribute to their warm sounds and make them the ultimate choice for modern versatility.

Each Byzance model in this set is hand-hammered into shape by skilled cymbal artisans in Turkey, ensuring that every cymbal has its own unique and colorful voice. The 4-piece cymbal pack, which includes the 14" Hi-hat pair, the 20" Extra-thin Crash, and the 21" Ride, is complemented by the bonus 18" Extra-dry Thin Crash, creating a versatile and dynamic setup for drummers and percussionists.
