Feature

●Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze alloy ? serving two purposes as a light china or a ride, the Byzance 22” Jazz China Ride blurs the line between an effects cymbal and a ride with its pillow soft feel, sizzling, trashy spread and dry definition
●Use as a china ? with the lip facing you like a traditional china, this cymbal gives you a soft china effect, aided by its thin weight, for a warm, trashy sound without a harsh attack ? eight evenly spaced brass rivets layer a sizzle effect into the wash
●Play on top as a ride ? you can place this cymbal on your stand lip side down and ride on the top to blend a different flavor into your ride playing ? great as a secondary ride when you need more trashy bite to lift the music
●Refined warm sound ? the clean, yet warm and dark tone of Byzance Jazz cymbals comes from a combination of their thin weight and extensively hand hammered B20 alloy ? the surface is fully lathed to perfection to give them a smooth response
●Not only for jazz players ? their fully lathed surfaces and dark character are ideal for jazz, but these cymbals are at home in any style where effortless touch and complex tone are “must haves”
●Modern versatility rooted in tradition ? hand hammered into shape in Turkey using B20 bronze, Meinl Byzance cymbals are deeply rooted in traditional cymbal crafting methods, yet their old-world background is dialed-in to 21st century needs

Description

Byzance Jazz offers a deep well of expressive cymbals that draw players in. The hihats have a smooth and subtle response, and the crashes are known for a buttery feel that only develops from their hand hammered profiles and lathed surfaces. In addition, many unique and complex ride cymbals have been created within this line to help you find your voice behind the kit. These cymbals are made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and hand hammered into shape by skilled Turkish cymbal smiths.
