The Vintage line was born from the Sand Ride, a flagship cymbal developed with Meinl Cymbals artist, Benny Greb. Byzance Vintage now includes a wide array of cymbals that have helped to define the Meinl sound. Sand models feature narrow blade lathing and a sandblasted finish, whereas Vintage Pure models are unlathed and raw. These cymbals are made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and hand hammered into shape by skilled Turkish cymbal smiths.

I've had a couple chinas in the past without really enjoying them. This is the only china that truly sounds musical to me. 10/10

My first china ever was a Zildjian 18" Oriental China Trash c2000. 22 years later a lot had changed in cymbal technology. I used to tape the underside of the Zildjian to shorten the decay. This beautiful China has addressed that decay issue. And, obviously, our patron saint of drums has worked with meinl to develop this.

Bright, cuts, sustains. I would say, if you want the sound of something like a 30% this crash, 70% china, this is the sound.

This china cymbal has that classic sound that we all know and look for. Has relatively short sustain but enough to really sound good in a mix, whether you're on stage or recording an album. While it's an expensive cymbal, you will not be disappointed with this product. Matt Garstka hit a home run when he helped develop this cymbal. Works for many different genres. If you have the money, grab one!
