Offering an even shaping through the bow and bell, added weight, and a narrow blade lathing reminiscent of handmade Turkish examples, the Meinl 22" Byzance Traditional Heavy Ride combines the best of the old and new worlds of cymbal manufacturing. Characterized by bright tone that sits in the middle/high frequency range without being overpowering, the focused stick response on the bow is complemented by an even stronger accent when striking the bell. Used by artists including Sarah Jones and Tom Heron, the brazen presence of this ride is ideal for ensuring your sticking patterns are heard on stage or in studio.
