Frequently Asked Questions
The Traditional finish is more porous and will patina faster than a brilliant finish, requiring more frequent cleaning and care to prevent oxidation.
The Byzance Traditional offers a more complex, vintage tone with more prominent overtones, while a modern Meinl splash tends to be brighter and more focused.
While playable by beginners, its nuanced response and delicate nature are best appreciated by drummers with a developed feel and an ear for subtle dynamics.
