Meinl Byzance Brilliant 22in Polyphonic Ride Cymbal

In a limited production run, Meinl took their highly popular Byzance Polyphonic design – thin edges, a lathed body, and that signature raw bell – and gave it a buffed brilliant finish. This special finish tames the high-end frequencies, giving you a slightly warmer, smoother attack and spread. Designed to give drummers a cymbal with multiple zones. It rapidly responds when crashed and fully opens when wash riding. A raw and big-sized bell features a clear, dry sound. Starting with hand-hammering and following with hand lathing in Turkey, the word ‘traditional’ accurately describes their hand forged shape and deeply rooted sound. The Traditional series features our broadest voice for Byzance, with a wide variety of sizes and weights that blend into any musical setting. Made in Turkey from B20 bronze, hand-hammered into shape, narrow blade lathing, and traditional finish.
