Meinl 20" Byzance Raw Bell Ride

Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 Bronze - dark definition is paramount with this Ride - it has a strong feel that is loaded with clarity, cut and a healthy dose of intricate, shadowy tone Unlathed surfaces - by not filing these cymbals down, so to speak, they are left with a bold and definitive dark attack with a mellow sustain that gets out of your way Raw bell and large hammer blows - the prominent raw bell is left unhammered and completely unfinished to deliver a brighter tone, while larger hammer blows add a complex wash A unique line in the Byzance family - the degree of darkness these cymbals provide, along with the smooth sustain, puts them in a unique sweet spot between Byzance Traditional and Extra Dry Modern versatility rooted in tradition - Meinl Byzance cymbals are deeply rooted in traditional cymbal crafting methods, yet their old-world background is dialed-in to 21st century needs Match your heros - Meinl Cymbals are used by pro drummers like Benny Greb, Anika Nilles, Mike Johnston, Matt Garstka, Stu Fagan, Craig Reynolds or Robert Sput Searight
