Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
This Byzance Polyphonic is a real character cymbal – not your standard crash. It’s fantastic for players wanting a darker, more complex wash with a quick response; think jazz, world music, or even atmospheric rock. It’s a premium-priced option, but the unique sound is worth it if you're chasing something special.
