Meinl Byzance 22" Medium Brilliant Ride

Building on the Traditional line, Byzance Brilliant cymbals are polished to create a mirror-like finish for a stunning look. The sonic result is a slightly refined sound with a smoother, lower frequency response and added shimmer. The Heavy Hammered models feature extra weight for cut and volume. These cymbals are made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and are hand hammered into shape by skilled Turkish cymbal smiths.

• Hand hammered in Turkey from B20 Bronze — the Byzance Brilliant Medium Ride puts clear articulation and a complex tone at the top of the list — the coupling of these two sonic features gives you a nuanced, classic ride sound
• Reflective shine — Byzance Brilliant cymbals are fully lathed for a classic sound before the surface is buffed to a brilliant shine — this finish tones down high frequencies for a wash that sits more underneath your mix when compared to traditional finish
• Clear and pronounced bell — a mark of any good ride cymbal is having a bell that is easily activated and punches through with clarity — the bell on this ride sits on top of the mix of the cymbal, giving you a pronounced high frequency sound
• Blossoming tonality — roaring to life and finding a comfortable spot in your mix, Byzance Brilliant cymbals have a reactive touch that extends through any dynamic level you put them through
• Modern versatility rooted in tradition — hand hammered into shape in Turkey using cast B20 bronze, Meinl Byzance cymbals are deeply rooted in traditional cymbal crafting methods, yet their old-world background is dialed-in to 21st century needs.Match your Heros — Meinl Cymbals are used by pro drummers like Benny Greb, Anika Nilles, Mike Johnston, Matt Garstka, Raja Meissner, Robert Sput Searight or Jost Nickel
