The Meinl 22" Byzance Jazz Big Apple Ride maximizes the shimmering, smoky articulation loved by jazz drummers by combining a thinner weight along with a reduced size bell and enlarged bow. The resulting configuration provides defined but musical sticking that's able to stand out within a mix while also contributing to the atmosphere with its overtones. Not only for jazz, the thin weight and size make it a versatile crash/ride duo right up the alley of anyone who wants big, warm sound.
