Meinl Byzance B22SAR Sand Ride cymbale 22"

Informations

The Byzance cymbals from German manufacturer Meinl set themselves apart because each cymbal has been individually hand-hammered and finished, giving them all a unique sound. The B22SAR Sand Ride is a signature cymbal that was designed in collaboration with German drummer Benny Greb. It is 22 inches in diameter, sand-blasted and partially lathed - meaning the bell is left raw and unlathed, showing off the hammer marks. This cymbal is made of B20 bronze, which guarantees a rich sound that carries well.

Meinl Byzance B22SAR: rich and dynamic

Because it is sand-blasted, this ride does not sound too brash, and thanks to its bright, reliable stick response it is a great cymbal to keep rhythm. As the bell was left unlathed, it has a bright, articulate sound that really stands out, making the Sand Ride a great cymbal for both cutting accents on the bell, and the more subtle pingy rhythms. All in all, you'll have access to a wide dynamic range with shimmering overtones. It may have taken Meinl over a year to finish developing this cymbal, but it was definitely worth it!
