MEINL – BYZANCE BRILLIANT MEDIUM RIDE – 20"

Their hand hammered and lathed surfaces with warm sounds and selection of models may be rooted in tradition, but MEINL Byzance cymbals are the ultimate choice when it comes to modern versatility. Every Byzance model is hand hammered into shape by cymbal artisans in Turkey, giving each cymbal its own unique and colorful voice. The overall presence that MEINL Byzance delivers is dark, buttery warmth that flows around crisp definition.

The Byzance 20-inch medium ride has a balanced, shimmering stick response with a defined ping and a blend of bright overtones together with dark wash underneath. The bell is penetrating and musical, but not overpowering. Byzance rides are especially unique in that they truly deliver the sought after "Made in Turkey" sound with their hand hammered profiles.
