21 inch ride cymbal with a polyphonic character
If you want a ride cymbal that does more than deliver a fixed ping, the Meinl Byzance Traditional Polyphonic Ride is a strong choice. This 21 inch ride cymbal responds clearly to your dynamics: light strokes sound bright and dry, while the tone opens up and becomes more complex when you dig in.
That polyphonic response makes this Meinl especially appealing for drummers who want plenty of nuance from their cymbals. The body blends articulate stick definition with a warm wash, keeping the sound musical and layered.
Meinl Byzance Traditional Polyphonic Ride for studio and live
The clearly defined bell adds a powerful, musical punch without turning harsh. That makes it easy to move between riding patterns, accents and more open playing within one ride cymbal.
With its 21 inch size, this Meinl ride cymbal delivers a deep, full sound with controlled sustain. It fits versatile use from jazz to alternative rock, both on stage and in the studio.
B20 bronze and traditional craftsmanship
This Meinl Byzance Traditional Polyphonic Ride is handmade in Turkey from B20 bronze. The natural dark finish matches the complex overtone content and the strong character of this cymbal.
If your playing relies on detail in touch and dynamics, this model comes into its own. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from players who can help you compare different ride cymbals.
