collapse expand iconDescription

The Meinl Medium Ride Cymbal has a balanced, controllable stick response with a defined ping and a blend of bright overtones. Warm basic sound with medium sustain and bell.

Meinl's Byzance Traditional finish cymbals are handmade in Turkey using the traditional B20 bronze alloy. The profile of the cymbal is hand-hammered into shape. They are also lathed by hand. All this handwork goes into making a true musical instrument. These cymbals have a nice dark character with an explosive attack and a long decay. Good for Latin, jazz, rock, pop and country . . . a good all around cymbal.

    Use this with a a 22 and a 19' Byzance crash I love it! such a big sounding ride that if needed could also be used as a crash.

    I was looking for a 22" ride to go with my Meinl MCS cymbals and this fit perfectly. Having Meinl cymbals I wanted one to match their timbre. This is not only a great sounding ride but its also a great crash cymbal too. Sounds great with sticks or brushes depending what my mood is. I wish I had the money to replace my other cymbals all with Byzance cymbals, but I still have a great set of cymbals an this ride makes them all shine.

    I've never played a meinl cymbol before, I've only heard what they sound like and heard people say really good things about them. This cymbol exceeded my expectations. I use it for its low and extremely powerful crash sound, louder than anything I've ever heard. The power of the crash doesn't diminish the crisp and clear sound it produces either. The only problem is that none of my cymbols compare to this one at all, so now I have to throw them all out and order all meinls.

    I had ordered the cymbal as a christmas gift. I had never played on any meinl cymbal and I was very curious what this beautiful cymbal would sound like. This meduim ride is very well equiped to play any style of music. Rather it's a swing beat for jazz or and a hard rock hard hitting cymbal. I use it for rock mainly. I want a cymbal with short decay and a great crash characteristics and this cymbal has exeeded my expectaions. Perfect crash/ride as well.
