The MEINL Mike Johnston cymbal box set contains a variety of Byzance models that Mike chooses for his standard set up when conducting lessons and performing. Included in the box are 14" Byzance Extra Dry Medium Hi Hats, 20" Byzance Extra Thin Hammered Crash, 21" Byzance Mike Johnston Signature Transition Ride, plus a FREE 18" Byzance Extra Dry Thin Crash. These cymbals deliver a musical blend of dark and dry attack with a short, trashy wash. The 14" Extra Dry hi hats have a full-bodied and distinctive chick sound. The 20" Extra Thin Hammered Crash serves great as both a big crash and a light ride. At the heart of the setup is the Mike Johnston signature Transition ride cymbal. This cymbal is designed to respond with the perfect transition from articulate sticking to wide open crashing and back, while always maintaining musicality. Also highlighted in this set is a FREE 18" Byzance Extra Dry Thin Crash. This cymbal is great for adding a contrasting crash sound that works well as an accent cymbal, and it allows players to dig in for trashy riding effects. Their hand hammered and lathed surfaces with warm sounds and selection of models may be rooted in tradition, but MEINL Byzance cymbals are the ultimate choice when it comes to modern versatility. Every Byzance model is hand hammered into shape by cymbal artisans in Turkey, giving each cymbal its own unique and colorful voice.

Just received the kit today and oh wow are these cymbals unique. I heard when doing research that each cymbal, though the same model, would have a unique sound and look. This turned out to be completely true. The hi hat, as you can see in the photo, has red oxidization marks that give it “a kiss of fire” I’m so thrilled. When I was a kid I dreamed of owning cymbals this nice and I’ve been able to make that dream come true.I’ve given each cymbal a test and they have given me a great first impression. I am very much looking forward to playing these some more!
