Meinl ride cymbal with a complex, dark sound
The Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve 22 Inch Ride is a ride cymbal for drummers who want plenty of detail from their setup. This 22 inch ride cymbal sounds highly complex and reveals multiple layers of tones and nuances, with a pronounced character that is central to this series.
The combination of extra hammering and a lathed finish gives you very articulate dry stick definition, supported by deep dark low undertones. Within this line, Meinl also refers to that as “the roar”.
Byzance Foundry Reserve finish and character
The Byzance Foundry Reserve collection is a limited selection that showcases the rich craftsmanship of cymbal making. The deep, striking hammer marks give this Meinl ride cymbal an impressive look while also contributing to its layered response.
Deep craters run across the entire cymbal because of the extra hammering, and together with the finish they support the dry, clearly articulated playing response. If you are looking for a ride cymbal with plenty of nuance and a dark foundation, this 22 inch version is a strong choice. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from musicians in the shop.
