Experience Rich, Complex Overtones with the Meinl 21-Inch Byzance Foundry Reserve Flat Ride

The 21” Byzance Foundry Reserve Flat Ride combines the articulation that flat rides are known for with the rich complexity of the Foundry Reserve. The result is a flat ride that is full of character and will work in many settings. The 21” size plus the medium-thin weight makes this a versatile ride which is perfect for situations where subtlety and shading is needed as much as straight forward clarity. The extensive hand-hammering builds in a robust character that many flat rides do not exhibit.

Byzance Foundry Reserve

The Byzance Foundry Reserve collection is a limited selection of cymbals created at the Byzance cymbal foundry in Turkey. Inspired from the time when all cymbals were handmade, these cymbals showcase the stunning, sonically rich works of art that their cymbalsmiths create with layers of tonality and nuance; however, that is only half of the beauty, as they are visually striking from the one-of-a-kind hand hammered marks.

Each Byzance Foundry Reserve comes with a pair of Meinl Stick & Brush Standard 5A Drumsticks, a pair of 100% cotton handling gloves, a signed certificate of authenticity, and a personal letter from Mr. Reinhold Meinl.
