Amazing Crash. Weak Ride.

This is a great sounding crash. Nice and high pitched for a 20 inch.

A 19 inch dual crash weighs around 1150-1275 grams which is very light for a 19 inch. Surprisingly the 18 also weighs the same.

But for the 20 dual crash ride, mine weighs in at 1792, which is a nice weight for a 20 inch crash.

I would not buy this at all for a ride. It's a great crash, and is nice for crash riding. I guess they named it this way since it's a little heavier than the standard crash, but it's definitely not a good ride, the bow and the bell make next to no sound. Not defined ping, not washy ping, just no ping sound.

But it is a great right side crash for me.

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Jesse Gutierrez

The Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Dual Crash/Ride is my go-to crash because of its versatility. Though I mainly crash this cymbal, it is also a great ride when using any sticks or brushes on the unlathed area. With a complex mix of trashiness and wash, it substitutes great for a china when accents are needed. I’ve used this for pop-punk gigs as well as house of worship settings and it always blends well.
