Meinl 20" Byzance Vintage Crash

I have used this cymbal on two recording sessions and both times with amazing results.

I like pairing it with quite thin cymbals but it has also performed well with heavier hi-hats because it does sound quite massive if you hit it hard (and beautifully complex and tasteful when hit soft).

A real con for it really is the very high price. Since thin cymbals as this are prone to cracking (especially in more aggressive playing styles), the price tag does kind of make you scared to really hit it.
