20" Meinl Byzance Jazz Thin Ride - Traditional Finish

Product Description

The Meinl Byzance Jazz Thin Ride 20" is a hand-hammered ride cymbal in B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin) with a dark, warm tone and controlled volume. Thin in construction, it works equally well as a ride and a crash, with clear stick definition and a dark, fat crash built into the sound.

• Traditional finish with hand-lathed top and bottom
• Made at Meinl's Turkish factory, quality-checked and finished in Germany
• Warm tone with medium sustain and volume
• Wide sound spectrum suited to genres like pop, rock, funk, D&B and fusion

Sound Character

The Byzance Jazz series is dark and thin in tone, with a beautiful sound and good projection. Stick attack cuts through clearly across the register, while the cymbal carries a dark, fat crash when played harder. The overtones are warm and deep, and the volume is well controlled. One reason the Jazz series is also popular in the studio.

Construction

The cymbal is cast and shaped at Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional craftsmanship. The B20 bronze is heated, rolled and cooled following a carefully proven schedule until the correct thickness is reached, before the bell is shaped and the cymbal is hand-hammered. The traditional finish means both the top and bottom are hand-lathed before the cymbal is sent to Germany for quality control, sorting and finishing.

Who It's For

A good choice if you play jazz, pop, rock, funk, D&B or fusion and want a ride with a dark, warm tone and solid dynamic control. On stage and in the studio alike.
