The Byzance Jazz Thin Ride is a Traditional Jazz Ride with a perfect blend of spread and shimmer. Intensive hammering results in a harmonic, colorful sound with lots of depth. Byzance cymbals are completely hand hammered into shape in Turkey from B20 bronze alloy. Every Byzance cymbal is a piece of art and has its own unique sound characteristics which can never be duplicated. Jazz cymbals have a regular finish and contain outstanding sound qualities. They were developed for the natural vintage sound that traditional Jazz requires. With a complex blend of sounds, an overall darkness and a nice spread, these factors come together to form a warm, musical mix.
