]]> A brilliant, bright sound, based on the highly polished surface and bright finish. A wide dynamic spectrum.
Though ‘Brilliant’ refers to its finish, this series actually takes the traditional Byzance and darkens its sound. This darker sound is due to a finishing process that limits the high end as the cymbal is buffed to its brilliant look. Heavier models penetrate with directness, thinner ones shimmer with warmth. The overall combination of dark tonality and warm spread make Byzance Brilliant a great choice for everything from funk and fusion to rock.
