Meinl Byzance Dark Big Apple 22" Ride Cymbal - Dark Finish

The Meinl Byzance Dark 22" Big Apple Dark Ride Cymbal is totally hand hammered and crafted with excellent care. Delivering a slightly dark tone with a low to mid pitch, this is a wonderful ride. The abraded lathing and dark finish helps to cement the earthy character and shortens the decay to grant this ride cymbal excellent stick definition.

The look is something really special. Abraded and unlathed cymbals are getting increasingly popular, and this is just one of the many reasons. With many parts of the music industry and musical instruments becoming increasingly formulated, there is something about the flavour of unlathed cymbals that break the mould. The earthy tones and dark and dry characteristics of this Meinl Byzance Dark 22” Big Apple Dark Ride are vintage, pure, and even gritty. Complex nuances sing through in the short to medium sustain of this cymbal, and when contrasting with brilliant cymbals, this truly is a dark horse of a cymbal which will deliver in all kinds of genres.
