Meinl Cymbals B20JBAR Byzance 20-Inch Jazz Big Apple Ride Cymbal (VIDEO)

Product description

• Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze — the Byzance Jazz 20 Big Apple Ride is made with inspiration from the bebop era in NYC — it yields pearly, full-bodied articulation with a controlled wash and a bright bell — ideal for small clubs
• Undersized bell — the smaller cup on this ride helps develop more high-end frequencies and soft, yet still articulate stick definition throughout the whole cymbal — the bell cuts without overpowering while activating the entire cymbal as you play
• Traditional old-school sounds — paying homage to NYC, the heart of bebop music, this ride is made to drive small combos or big bands with a fantastic, bouncy response from the bead of your stick, along with a velvety wash surrounded in warm undertones
• 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 cast 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.Match your heros — Meinl Cymbals are used by pro drummers like Benny Greb, Anika Nilles, Mike Johnston, Matt Garstka, Stu Fagan, Richard Spaven or Robert 'Sput' Searight
