Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Dual 22" Crash Ride Cymbal - Multi-Surface Finish

The Meinl Byzance Extra Dry 22" Dual Crash-Ride Cymbal is a multi-surface cymbal with a unique sound and look to match.  It features dual playing zones made up of contrasting finishes; half raw and half traditional. This is a great crash-ride that is suitable for a wide variety of musical styles and works particularly well with gospel, funk and RnB.

As a crash ride, this cymbal plays both roles very well. With enough top end to cut through and brilliant stick definition, when riding the cymbal it sounds clear cut and excellent. However, put some power behind the strokes and this cymbal transitions from a buttery ride to an explosive and mighty crash; thick and full of character. When used for accents this crash ride is trashy, and the bell is powerful and well rounded. When you play this cymbal, you can really feel that it has been hand-hammered and given excellent care. You’re absolutely going to love the Meinl Byzance Extra Dry 22" Dual Crash-Ride.
