Meinl Byzance Traditional Polyphonic 21" Ride Cymbal - Traditional Finish

This truly is a versatile cymbal. Though the Meinl Byzance Traditional 21" Polyphonic Ride Cymbal is designed to be a ride, it can be used as a crash too, and with the medium weight, the voice is perfect for nearly all genres.

The Meinl Byzance Tradition range doesn’t just deliver cymbals with a traditional finish, but also with traditional tone. This Meinl Byzance Traditional 21” Polyphonic Ride offers a familiar sound which takes advantage of modern manufacturing. When played as a ride, this cymbal offers incredible stick definition so that each and every articulation shines through, while the medium sustain ties together every note. With the medium weight, the timbre is mid to bright which is ideal for the ride to cut through, but the Byzance Traditional range’s warm and smooth character is still very much present. However, as mentioned, this is more than just a ride cymbal. When crashed, it is explosive and dark and will place this cymbal as the powerhouse of your setup. In addition, the bell has been left unlathed for that added power and extra definition.
