Meinl Byzance Vintage Crash Cymbal 20" – Extra Thin Sandblasted B20 Bronze – B20VC
Safe and secure checkout
The Meinl Byzance Vintage 20" Crash Cymbal is a large, dark and dry crash with an extra-thin feel, sandblasted finish and wide low-frequency wash. Made from B20 bronze and hand hammered for a more individual response, this professional crash cymbal is designed for players who want a big, expressive crash that opens easily without becoming harsh or overly bright.
The 20" size gives the cymbal a fuller spread and lower pitch than smaller crashes, while the extra-thin weight helps it respond quickly with a soft, buttery attack. Its sandblasted surface and large hammer marks create the dry, vintage character associated with the Byzance Vintage range.
The B20VC works well as a main crash for drummers who prefer darker cymbals, a large crash/ride-style accent, or a studio cymbal where control and character are more important than raw volume.

Why Choose the Meinl Byzance Vintage 20" Crash?
The Byzance Vintage 20" Crash is ideal if you want a large crash cymbal that feels expressive and controlled rather than loud and glassy. The extra-thin weight means it opens up easily, even at lower dynamics, while the 20" diameter gives it a deep, wide crash sound.
Compared with the 16" and 18" versions, the 20" model offers more body, spread and low-end character. It still keeps the dry, short and dark Byzance Vintage sound, making it especially useful for studio work, dynamic live settings and players who prefer darker cymbal tones.
