Darker, Dryer Ride Response

Darken your ride tone with a Meinl Byzance Vintage Sand ride sitting in your cymbal configuration. Constructed from Meinl’s premium-grade B20 bronze alloy formula, the warm and extraordinarily full-sounding nature of this ride is praised by percussionists at Sweetwater. The Byzance Vintage Sand ride comes sandblasted on the surface for a mellower response with particularly vivid rhythmic definition for your drumsticks as well. The resulting tonality is very dark and dry, shortening the sustain for a patterning platform that’s still quite articulate but absent of lingering overtones. The Byzance Vintage Sand ride works great as an auxiliary crash cymbal for darker bronze explosions and has been frequented by professionals worldwide, including virtuoso Benny Greb.

Meinl Byzance Vintage Sand Ride Cymbal Features:

  • B20 bronze alloy construction offers a warm and full-bodied professional presence
  • Sandblasted surface mellows out the response and heightens stick articulation
  • Dark and dry tonality with a shorter sustain that’s perfect for patterning without the overtones
  • Functions very well as an auxiliary crash cymbal with a darker attack and wash
  • Revered by professionals everywhere, including drum virtuoso Benny Greb
