This model has two different finishes in both cymbals. Dry sound with an immediate response an extremely dry "chick" and a short sustain.

Although 'Brilliant' refers to its finish, this series actually has a darker sound than the Byzance Traditional series. This darker sound is due to the finishing process that limits the upper end as the cymbal softens with its bright look. The combination of dark tones and warmth makes the Byzance Brilliant an excellent choice for virtually all styles, from funk and fusion to rock.
Clean and clearly dark sound with a wide range of frequencies. Bright attack and moderate sustain.

The Byzance Brillant series by Meinl is made in Turkey with the famous B20 alloy and scrupulously following all the steps with which for centuries the best are manufactured cymbals of the world.
