Bringing together a steep bow profile with a gradual bell and bands of raw finish interspersed with narrow blade lathing on the top of the cymbal, the Meinl 22" Byzance Tradition Ride updates classic sounds with contemporary appointments. Medium in weight, the bow design and un-lathed top translate to a dark, wood-like response complemented with an atmospheric, warm undertone that begs to be crashed on. Used by drummers including TaRon Lockett and Ben Sesar, this versatile model's sedate character is ideal for adding depth and complexity to any setup.
