What We Think

The Sand cymbals are hammered, lathed and sandblasted to precise tolerances.The heavier bottom cymbal of the Sand hats is lathed and polished, the top cymbal is left unlathed and raw. The hats have a warm feel and are capable of a wide range of expression.
At low volumes they have a feathery soft and controlled touch. Laid into, they have striking a balance between defined and meaty.

Manufacturer's Description from Meinl

Its unusual sandblasted surface gives it a soft feel and a distinct matte finish. Its low, dark and somewhat dry washy sound isn’t too soft or loud. With its great stick definition and short sustain, you can dig into Byzance Vintage for total control at all times. It's a sound that fits into any music that isn't in the upper decibel levels.

About Manufacturer

Only MEINL uses 6 different alloys for crafting cymbals, which is more than any other cymbal maker is using today. Because of that, we are able to offer the widest selection of basic cymbal sound characteristics available. Striving for the realization of any possible sound idea makes it necessary to have this diversity, the background in and knowledge of all those different materials.

Constantly trained and highly qualified employees master all challenges within our production team. Most of them are drummers themselves! And if someone is not and starts working for us, we pay for the drum lessons. They know why they are doing what they do, and don’t consider it just another 9 to 5 job. It’s that dedication which makes the difference you can hear!
