General
The 22-inch Mb20 Heavy Bell Ride is a lot like the 22-inch Heavy Ride, except that it has a larger bell with a more dominant sound. As it has a rather large surface area, this cymbal has quite a dark sound when you play it on the bow. The larger the cymbal, the lower the pitch of the sound. This cymbal is made of B20 bronze, an alloy that consists of copper, 20% tin and traces of silver. It's a durable metal that makes the cymbal durable, and gives it a fantastic, articulate sound.
Crafted and hammered by hand
Meinl's Mb20 series cymbals are polished to a shine, which gives them a bright, pure sound while retaining the natural colour of the bronze. The course structure of the cymbal enhances its articulation even further. Whether you're playing with brushes, light drum sticks or nylon-tipped drum sticks, you'll always hear exactly what you're playing. Furthermore, this cymbal is crafted and shaped by hand to give it a consistent sound, no matter where on the bow you hit it. This Heavy Bell Ride is obviously quite heavy, and it has a distinct sound and solid construction, allowing it to take any abuse a modern-day drummer can throw at it.
